Dear professional collegues,

If the commissioner has not acted for application made for approval of gratuity fund for more than 1 year period even after follow up what is the consequence? Can it be deemed to have been approved and can the assessee is deemed to have complied with the provisions of section 40A(7) and avoid disallowance?

An Early reply is highly appreciated!! Thanks in advance.
