Order rectification: Settlement Commission may correct apparent errors within a limited period, subject to notice and hearing. The amendment permits the Settlement Commission to amend its order to rectify apparent errors on the face of the record, suo motu or on notification by the jurisdictional Principal Commissioner or Commissioner of Central Excise or the applicant, within a limited time from the date of the order; however, no amendment that enhances the applicant's liability may be made unless notice is given and a reasonable opportunity of being heard is provided to the applicant and the jurisdictional officer.
