Heard both the parties. Case file perused. 2. Learned departmental representative vehemently argued during the course of hearing in tune with the Revenue’s MA No. 78/Hyd/2021 :- 2 -: pleadings that our order has erred in law and on facts in taking note of the foregoing amended provision(s) of the Act as well as the explanatory memorandum thereto despite the fact that the President of the Union gave ascent to the same much later. 3. We are of the opinion that even if Revenue’s stand is taken as correct, the fact remains that the net result would remain the same since the statutory amendment(s) in Section 36(1)(va) and 43B dealing with employees’ and employee’s contribution; have been made applicable with prospective effect only. We thus reject Revenue’s instant Miscellaneous Application. 4. This Revenue’s Miscellaneous Application is dismissed in foregoing terms.
