This section gives option to existing as well as new domestic companies to pay tax at the reduced rate of 22% instead of general rate of 25%/30%.  To avail this facility of reduced rate, the domestic company have to file form 10-IC on or before the due date of filing of income tax return. and once this option is exercised than it cannot be withdrawn.
