2. A question had been raised whether cotton mills licens- ed under Item.No. 23(1) of the First Schedule to the Indus- tries (Development & Regulation) Act, 1961, were eligible to import Polyester filament yarn (fully/partially oriented) under Open General Licence as Actual Users (Industrial).

"Item 2'JU) of the First Schedule to the Industries (De- velopment & Regulation) Act, 1951, relates to an industry engaged in the manufacture or production of textiles made wholly or in pan of cotton includ- ing cotton yarn, hosiery and rope. Accordingly, It would be legally correct to say that in terms of the said provision of law, there is no restriction1 in an industry licensed/registered under it, using polyes- ter filament in addition to cotton for the purpose of manufacturing or producing textiles."
3. Industrial units covered by the above clarification are eligible to import polyester filament yarn (fully/partiallv oriented) under OGL as Actual Users (Industrial).
