Things to know
- Matches DSR 2023 means the rate in the book is the same as the rate in the Delhi Schedule of Rates 2023. Differs from the DSR rate means the DSR prints another rate, and the badge gives that rate.
- The book's own figures do not add up here means a figure printed in the book does not agree with the sums around it. When the book does not add up
- A badge like Vol 2, page 985 is the page of the book where the item is printed. An item that runs over more pages shows both page numbers, and an item that comes from a correction slip shows no page.
- Opened free means you opened this item with one of your free items. What is free
- A few codes are printed more than once in the book, at different rates, like SUB-AR-1. The page then lists the rates, the one you are on is dark, and pressing another one opens that printing.
How it is worked out
The page number on the screen is the one printed on the paper. A PDF viewer counts from the first page of the file, so in the PDF files we read, the two numbers differ by a fixed amount in each volume:
| Item | Book | PDF page | Working | Printed page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3.4 | Vol 1 | 155 | 155 less 9 | 146 |
| 13.1.1 | Vol 2 | 12 | 12 plus 973 | 985 |
So for 13.1.1 the screen says Vol 2, page 985, and that is the 12th page of the Volume 2 PDF.
