Customs Tariff (Identification, Assessment and Collection of Countervailing Duty on Subsidized Articles and for Determination of Injury) Rules, 1995 (From Rule 1 to Annexure 4)
Limited subsidy determination defines when a subsidy is confined to certain producers and lists objective and discretionary factors. A subsidy is treated as conferred on a limited number of producers if access is explicitly restricted by the granting authority, unless eligibility is automatic under clearly specified, verifiable, objective economic criteria that are neutral and horizontal. Even where such criteria exist, the designated authority may consider concentrated use, disproportionately large grants, and discretionary decision-making-taking into account economic diversification and programme duration-to determine limitation. Subsidies limited to a designated geographic region are also regarded as conferred on a limited number of persons.
