Anti Dumping Notification Expired - CBEC are you aware?
The Anti dumping Notification No. 24/2013-Cus(ADD), dated 21.10.2013 had a specific clause - the anti-dumping duty imposed under this notification shall be levied for a period not exceeding six months (unless revoked, amended or superseded earlier) from the date of publication of this notification in the Gazette of India - This period expired on 20.04.2014.
That is from yesterday this notification does not exist. But is it so? Most likely, the Government will come up with a notification extending this dead notification.
Can't the Board monitor these notifications?
Now, one month after the provisional imposition notification had its natural death, the Government has resurrected it and imposed a definitive anti dumping duty.
The notification also stealthily inserts the words also known as "Dichloromethane" which was missing from the main body of the earlier notification 24/2013-Cus (ADD) but was found in the Table.
With a new Government in North Block soon, let us hope there would be an end to this kind of fraud by Government.
Notification No., Dated: May 21, 2014
