PERIOD WISE RECORDING OF SATURATORY PROVISIONS

Fiscal statutes are rapidly amended and it is most important to record its provisions period-wise. When we say "period-wise", it means that we have preserved every provision in statute book in its original form and whenever an amendment is made therein, the complete amended text of the same provision is also brought to the record indicating its period/date of implementation with a note for the amendment made therein. This is a new concept of recording the statute book to show the complete picture of law with reference of its period/date of implementation. This concept is not presented by any law book publisher or Computerised Law Library developed worldwide till now.
