What changed in the Customs Act, 1969 on 2020-06-30
Between the version published 2019-12-31 and the one published 2020-06-30, 4 sections appeared for the first time and 2 no longer appear.
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 3CCA: Directorate General of Law and Prosecution
- section 80B: Application of risk management system
- section 111: Duty on goods improperly removed from warehouse or allowed to remain beyond fixed time or lost or destroyed or taken as sample

No longer present
These were in the previous version and are not in this one.
- section 80A: Omitted. 80B. Application of risk management system
- section 97: Goods not to be taken out of warehouse except as provided by this Act
