What changed in the Customs Act, 1969 on 2025-06-30

Between the version published 2024-06-30 and the one published 2025-06-30, 7 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.
