SION – Amendment not carried out in HBP - DGFT Clarifies
STANDARD Input Output Norm (SION) for ‘Nylon filament knitted/knotted nets' bearing number H-158 was modified by Public Notice No. 104/(RE2008)/2004-09 dated 7.11.2008. Subsequently when Handbook of Procedures, Vol. II, popularly known as the SION Book, was published/released on 23.8.2009; this amendment failed to get incorporated. It was an inadvertent omission.
Such non-inclusion of the Public Notice in the SION book, that was published subsequently, does not signify that the specific SION (in this case H-158 in Public Notice of 7.11.2008) has been rescinded / withdrawn. The SION H-158, as amended on 7.11.2008, continues to be available in the application filing software at DGFT Website.
DGFT wants RAs to take note.
DGFT should be commended for this admission of omission and maybe this is a good model for CBEC.
