The information that is required is not readily available. Each case must be verified
before the information can be submitted. An extension of three weeks is hereby requested in order for us to provide quality and correct information.
Note that the Section 21(1A)(b) as mentioned in section (c) of the question does not exist, it might be a typing error and maybe should read 20(1A)(b).
