Central excise amendment removes a paragraph from prior notification, altering exemption treatment for stainless steel pattis and pattas. The Central Government, exercising the authority under sub rule (1) of rule 8 of the Central Excise Rules, 1944, issues Notification No. 9/87-C.E. to amend Notification No. 450/86-Central Excises by omitting paragraph 2, thereby modifying the exemption provisions applicable to stainless steel 'pattis' or 'pattas'.
