The clause deems a specified Central Government notification under the Customs Act read with the Finance Act to have commenced earlier for a defined past period and retroactively authorises amendments to that notification as set out in the schedule. It deems the Government to have had amendment power at all material times. Where duty and cess were collected but would not have been so collected if the notification had been in force as amended, refunds are payable under existing customs refund provisions subject to a claim being filed with the jurisdictional customs officer within the prescribed time.
