Remarkable job – Congrats! CBEC
DDT is amazed! The Board has done a remarkable almost impossible job. It has traced and superseded a Notification issued 47 years ago, Yes in 1960 and has now issued a new notification in its place.
By Notification No. 135/1960 – cus dated 31.12.1960, taking out of India or the State of Pondicherry by sea or land was prohibited for
(i) goods which are required by a notification under section 117 of the Trade and Merchandise Marks Act, 1958 (43 of 1958), to have applied to them an indication of the country or place in which they were made or produced or of the name and address of the manufacturer or the person for whom the goods were manufactured, but which have not applied to them such indication in the manner specified in the notification;
(ii) any goods which are required to be stamped under section 74 of the Trade and Merchandise Marks Act, 1958 (43 of 1958), but which have not been stamped in the manner specified in the Trade Marks Rules,1959.
This old notification is now superseded with the new Trade Marks Act, 1999and the Trade Marks Rules, 2002 replacing the old Act and rules and of course the reference to Pondicherry is also removed. The new notification prohibits export of the goods, namely:-
(i) which are required by a notification under section 139 of the Trade Marks Act, 1999 (47 of 1999), to have applied to them an indication of the country or place in which they were made or produced or of the name and address of the manufacturer or the person for whom the goods were manufactured, but which have not applied to them such indication in the manner specified in the notification;
(ii) any goods which are required to be stamped under section 81 of the Trade Marks Act, 1999 (47 of 1999) but which have not been stamped in the manner specified in the Trade Marks Rules, 2002
