3. It has come to tho notice of Government that many a licence holder who was obliged to take action to have the country of origin andl/or shipment endorsed on the licences already held by him for seeming appropriate credit coverage, in accordance with Para 2 of the Public Notice No. 84-ITC(PN)/77, dated the 6th October, 1977, has not yet taken action to do so. Hence, it is clarified that (i.e. without prejudice to the relaxation provided in Para 2 above in so far the pending licences arc concerned) such a licence holder will be eligible for further licences against applications pending disposal with the licens- ing authorities, only after he gets such endorsement made against all the licences held by him already under the free licensing scheme, Paros 2 and 4 of the Public Notice No. 6-ITC(PN)/78, dated the 20th January, 1978 shall be deemed to be modified to that extent.
4. Licences will continue to be granted under the UK/India Maintenance Giant, 1977, only, in all cases where the source of import is the UK.
