Sir,

The rate of duty for nipples is 2% only from 1.3.2015. Education Cess and Secondary and Higher Education cess are exempted with effect from 1.3.2015 vide Notifications No.14 and 15 of 2015-CE dated 1.3.2015. Though the tariff rate has been increased to 12.5% subsuming the cesses there is no amendment to Notification No. 1/2011-CE date 1.3.2011 as amended. May be this anomaly corrected soon by the Government.
