This tax alert summarizes recent Notifications issued by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) extending the validity of various exemptions provided under Section 25(1) of the Customs Act, 1962 (Customs Act).
Vide Finance Act 2021, Section 25(4A) was inserted to provide
that all the conditional exemptions granted under Section 25(1) shall be valid
upto 31 March falling immediately after two years from the date of such grant,
unless otherwise specified, varied or rescinded.
Further, in case of conditional exemption which was in force on
the date on which Finance Bill, 2021 received assent of the President, the said
period of two years was to be considered from 1 February 2021. Accordingly,
validity of many exemptions were to expire on 31 March 2023.
Last year, several notifications were issued to extend the
validity of most of such exemptions till 31 March 2024.
Vide recent Notifications, exemption on import of various goods,
which would have lapsed on 31 March 2024, have been further extended till 30
September 2024.
