Anti-Dumping Duty on DVD-R and DVD-RW - Resurrection Again

GOVERNMENT had imposed anti dumping duty on imports of Digital Versatile Discs-Recordable (DVD-R and DVD-RW) originating in or exported from China PR, Hong Kong and Chinese Taipei by Notification No. 8/2009-Customs, dated the 22nd January, 2009 with effect from 23.07.2008 and this notification expired with effect from 23.07.2013.

Now, the Government has again done the resurrection trick. It has extended the life of the notification till 22.07.2014 - more than a month after its official death.

Why can't they keep track of their sunset notifications? Resurrecting dead notifications has become an incorrigible habit with the Board in spite of the Board's own instructions that such resurrection is not valid! Is the Board God?

Notification No. , Dated: August 29, 2013
