Rescission of central excise notifications removes specified exemptions, effective prospectively except for prior actions and omissions. The Central Government rescinds two Gazette published central excise notifications identified in the annexed Table, exercising powers under section 5A(1) of the Central Excise Act, 1944 read with section 111 of the Finance (No. 2) Act, 1998 and section 133 of the Finance Act, 1999, on grounds of public interest. The rescission withdraws the future operation of the specified notifications but preserves all actions done or omitted prior to rescission.
