No. 11(1)-Tar/87.—Whereas the Central Government is satisfied, after due enquiry, that the duty chargeable under the First Schedule to the Indian Tariff Act, 1934 (32 of 1934), in respect of Silk, raw (excluding silk waste, noils and silk cocoons), falling under Item No. 46 of the said Schedule, and characterised as protective in the third column thereof, has become excessive for the purpose of securing the protection intended to be afforded by it to similar articles manu- factured in India.
Now, therefore, in exercise of the powers conferred by sub-section (1) of sec- tion 4 of the said Act, the Central Government hereby reduces, with immediate effect, the duty of customs leviable under the said item No. 46 on the said article namely silk, raw (excluding silk waste, noils and silk cocoons), from 50 per cent ad valorem plus Rs. 8.80 per Kilogram to 30 per cent ad valorem.
