Scrumptious Circulars!

IT is also interesting to note that the Board in the Circulars issued yesterday, while throwing light on the complex notifications issued to make life simple for the jewellers, has employed a rather unusual and unintended word in the following sentence appearing in the Circulars , & respectively.

The sentence goes thus -

Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in any other circular/instructions, the following guidelines for such actions in respect of manufacturers/principal manufacturers of articles of jewellery may be followed scrumptiously,-

Perhaps what the Board meant was ‘scrupulously'. But then, I may be wrong since the dictionary describes the word ‘scrumptiously' as very pleasing, especially to the senses; delectable; splendid: and this is precisely what the Board wants the notifications to mean to the jewellery sector - appealing, that is!
