Effective rate of duty determines excise exemptions, capping payable duty for specified glassware and related tariff items.
Notification exempts specified goods under Chapters 70 and 94 from excise duty to the extent that duty exceeds the effective rate specified in the Table.

No. 2 and its related entries from the Table.

Rescission of excise notification rescinds a prior fabric exemption under statutory excise powers in public interest.
The Central Government, invoking empowering provisions of central excise and additional textile excise law and acting in the public interest, rescinds the earlier notification that granted miscellaneous exemptions for fabrics, thereby withdrawing the 1986 exemption instrument.

Excise exemption for fabrics with specified polyester-cotton composition limited by polyester proportion and processing conditions.
The notification substitutes the prior description with a detailed exemption limited to fabrics containing only polyester and cotton where polyester staple fibre is less than 70% by weight, and fabrics containing polyester staple fibre with cotton, ramie or artificial fibre where polyester is more than 40% but less than 70% by weight; such fabrics must have undergone specified processing (bleaching, dyeing, printing, shrink-proofing, tentering, heat-setting, crease-resistant processing or other listed processes) and fall within Chapter 55 of the Schedule.

Excise exemption for knitted fabrics caps duty to specified ad valorem rates based on material, processing and width.

Excise exemption for specified cotton-coated fabrics caps duty to a prescribed ad valorem rate under Central Excise law.
The Central Government exempts specified cotton-coated textile fabrics falling under Chapter 59 from so much of the excise duty as exceeds the amount calculated at a prescribed ad valorem rate; the description covers cotton fabrics coated with gum or amylaceous substances used for outer book covers, tracing cloth, prepared painting canvas, buckram and similar stiffened cotton fabrics.

Additional duty rates for woven fabrics capped by fibre, processing and value per square metre; exemptions above specified rates apply.
The notification exempts Chapter 58 goods from additional excise duty to the extent the duty exceeds prescribed ad valorem caps, differentiated by fabric category, fibre content, processing (including use of power or steam) and value per square metre, with untreated fabrics often nil-rated and processed or higher-value goods subject to specified capped rates.

Excise exemption for specified man-made fibre fabrics: conditional Nil rates and concessional duty based on composition and processing.
The notification exempts specified woven fabrics of man-made fibres under Chapter 55 from excess additional excise duty by prescribing Nil rates for fabrics with defined fibre-content combinations when woven or processed on handlooms or by authorised State/apex handloom bodies, and by allowing a concessional ad valorem rate for other fabrics whose value per square metre does not exceed the stated threshold. It also exempts certified Poly Vastra and synthetic fabrics used or processed for shoddy blankets subject to production, processing and procedural conditions.

Excise exemption for processed man-made woven fabrics applies when specified finishing processes are performed; bleaching, dyeing or printing facilities excluded.
The notification grants a complete excise exemption for processed woven fabrics of man-made fibres and filament yarns when subjected in a factory to any of the specified finishing processes - calendering, singeing, padding, back filling, cropping, hydro-extraction and blowing (steam pressing) for acrylic - and cleared therefrom, but excludes factories equipped to carry out bleaching, dyeing or printing with the aid of power or steam from claiming the exemption.
