(Q3.)What is the purpose of adding Authorized Person details in "Tax Payer Profile" tab for Non Individual PAN Holders?

Non Individuals PAN holders (except fourth character P) were unable to make online correction through DSC. As non-individuals have PAN of Authorized person (fourth character P) and also have DSC of authorized person but there was no fields present to mention Authorized person details in Taxpayer's profile. So this feature will be helpful to file online correction of 26QB through DSC for non-individuals.
