OptionAddress in OptionGiven AddressComment
(1)Amitabh S 112/44 Block-B, Indira Nagar, Lucknow, 226016Amitabh S. 112/44 Block-B, Indira Nagar, Lucknow, 226016Not Identical (missing dot after letter 'S')
(2)Amitabh S. 112/44 Block-B, Indira Nagar, Lucknow, 226016Amitabh S. 112/44 Block-B, Indira Nagar, Lucknow, 226016Exactly identical.
(3)Amitabh S. 112/44 Block-B, Indira Nagar, Lucknow, 226016Amitabh S. 112/44 Block-B, Indira Nagar, Lucknow, 226016Exactly identical.
(4)Amitabh S. 112/44 Block B, Indira Nagar, Lucknow, 226016Amitabh S. 112/44 Block-B, Indira Nagar, Lucknow, 226016Not identical (missing hyphen in "Block B").
