Amendment to Customs Tariff - Several Notifications Issued

YESTERDAY, DDT had reported that Customs Tariff Notifications 121 to 129 of 2011 were missing and would surface soon. And they did - three days after they were supposed to have been issued. All these Notifications are dated 30th December 2011. It is a herculean task to amend all these notifications in tune with the changes in the tariffs and the dedicated officers in the Board did a great job and completed the work on the last day. They deserve all praise - but, why did they wait till the last day to make these changes? They had all of ten months to do the job! Still Notification No. 116/2011 is missing. Anyone has a clue?
