Hi very good
Good Decision.

Sir if lock-down extends upto may 15 th they should again postpone sir
GOOD
A wise decision but keeping in view of the GST audits deadline i.e., 30/06/2020, it could have been better to postpone the entire examination (except FOUNDATION as it will not impact) system to 1st July, 2020 onwards.
