Should not the word “BY”, instead of as now, immediately followed the word “CERTIFICATION”; to make for a better reading and instant understanding of the true purport of the official notification by anyone even with the least level of IQ.
So much said might be enough for the ‘simplification’ long being touted for in authoritative circles, but with no sign of any attempt in improving things and taking steps in that direction.
