IIO was of no help !!
I have called VSC a few minutes ago. The lady IIO was not at all helpful.
Once she said they are still opening applications received in August 1st week, then she changed it to second week.
When I asked her to check my details in computer, she was not interested in doing that and instead she suggested me to check if the cheques were encashed.
When I insisted on knowing the current date of applications being handled, she said it is August 21st.
Now I really wonder if they are issuing any receipts at all !!
