What changed in the Customs Act, 1969 on 2011-06-30

Between the version published 2010-06-30 and the one published 2011-06-30, 4 sections appeared for the first time and 1 no longer appears.

Reading this in plain terms: a section appearing for the first time usually means Parliament inserted a new provision. A section disappearing usually means it was omitted. Neither is certain from the text alone, so treat this as a guide to what to check rather than as proof.

New in this version

• section 3DD: Directorate General of Post Clearance audit (PCA)
• section 25B: Omitted. 25C. Power to takeover the imported goods
• section 129A: Levy of transit fee
• section 204: Issue of certificate and duplicate of customs document

No longer present

These were in the previous version and are not in this one.

• section 25C: Power to takeover the imported goods
