The assessee’s claim is in accordance with’ the provisions of law and gets support from the CBDT circular No. l4 (XL-35) dated 11/0411955, wherein it has been clearly stated that the officers of department must not take advantage of ignorance of an assessee as to his rights. It is duty of the department to assist a tax payer in every reasonable way, particularly in matter of claiming and securing reliefs.
