Edible rice bran oil standard clarified: raw oil must meet vanaspati use standards; rebate measured before hydrogenation.

The explanation in the excise notifications is to be read so that edible rice bran oil means raw rice bran oil fit for processing into vanaspati and must conform to the raw grade standard applicable to oils used in vanaspati manufacture rather than to the refined edible oil standard; rebate entitlement is to be measured with reference to the quantity of oil immediately before hydrogenation.
