How to read Tariff with relevant notification

[MAYUR DODIYA]

It is a general practice to read a particular tariff with relevant notification. Our query is as follows -

(1) How can one know that a particular tariff should be read with a particular notification? 
(2) How can one find out that a notification is in respect of a particular tariff item?
(3) Are there two or more than two notifications applicable to a tariff item? What to do in that case? Which notification should be applied to excisable item?
(4) Can you please suggest steps to correctly classify an excisable item under correct tariff with applicable notification?

(5) How can we know about latest position in respect of a particular notification when amendments are carried out periodically?
