(a) Revised  (b) Provisional  (c) Includes expanded projects  (d) Cumulative as at end of year
Section 16 is the old version of BOI and the projects are limited to EPZs.
Section 17 is the new version and the and the projects under it are allowed elsewhere in the country.
So the section 16 and 17 are a matter of location of projects.
