Arjun reads the present Section 162 and looks for sub-sections (2) and (3). What does the official text show about them?

Sub-sections (2) and (3) of Section 162 have been omitted with effect from 20-5-2003. The current section therefore consists of sub-sections (1), (4) and (5), and Arjun will find no operative text in the omitted numbers.

  2. BThey have been omitted with effect from 20-5-2003Correct
  3. CThey were substituted by the Finance Act in 2005
  4. DThey are replaced by a proviso to sub-section (1)

Explanation
