Safeguard Duty on Soda Ash - Reimposed
PROVISIONAL Safeguard Duty on import of Soda Ash from People's Republic of China, was imposed by Notification No. , dated the 20th April, 2009, which was valid till 5th November 2009.
On the lapse of the above notification, Government again imposed the duty by Notification No. , dated the 5th November, 2009 and this notification was to be valid till 19th April 2010.
Now the Government has again imposed the duty w.e.f 28.6.2010 and valid till 19th April 2011. There was no safeguard duty for the period between 20th April and 27th June 2010! Was there no threat of market disruption to the domestic industry during this period or is it a condonation of the Babu's lack of memory?
