Self-declared Advance licences allowed where SION absent, subject to final adjustment under ALC-fixed Adhoc or SION. The amendment deletes specified Standard Input Output Norms and permits the licensing authority to issue Advance Licences where SION are not fixed based on applicant self-declaration and an undertaking, with a final adjustment to be made according to Adhoc norms or SION fixed by the ALC; issuance is expressly excluded for imports of horn, hoof and other animal organs, pepper, and any items the DGFT may notify.
