The form got revised today, and i am processing the said form INC 35 , I selected NO in first tab of the form itself, that i don’t want to avail any of the 3 service. On clicking No, the entire columns in form got deactivated, but in order to sign the said form, I am getting a Check form error , that please select any items from Point 2 in the said form, which already got deactived on clicking No.
