Protective customs duty framework omitted, ending the earlier notification-based mechanism for safeguarding Indian industry. Section 6 of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975 has been omitted with effect from 16-08-2024. The omitted provision earlier permitted the Central Government, on a Tariff Commission recommendation and on being satisfied of immediate need to protect an Indian industry, to impose by notification a protective customs duty on specified imported goods, within the amount recommended. The duty was treated as specified in the First Schedule for purposes of the Act. A Bill had to be introduced in Parliament to continue the duty, and the notification would lapse on the Bill becoming law or on expiry of six months if it did not become law.
