Rescission of additional excise duty notification removes specified textile duty obligations under statutory excise powers. The Central Government has cancelled Notification No. 48/86 that prescribed the rate of additional excise duty on specified textiles and textile articles by exercising powers under sub section (1) of section 5A of the Central Excises and Salt Act, 1944 read with sub section (3) of section 3 of the Additional Duties of Excise (Textile and Textile Articles) Act, 1978, acting on the basis that such rescission is necessary in the public interest.
