In Notification No. 175/86-C.E., dated 1-3-1986 relating to small scale exemption, goods falling under Heading No. 7302.20 were covered. There was however no Heading No. 7302.20. Earlier exemption was available to goods falling under Heading No. 7302.90 but it does not find any mention in Notification No. 175/86-C.E. Under a subsequent Notification No. 265/86-C.E., dated 24-4-1986 the Heading No. 7302.20 was substituted by Heading No. 7302.90.

Although it is mentioned in the aforesaid Act that every Notification which had been issued for the purposes of or has the effect of maintaining the effective duties at the level prior to 28-2-1986, the effect of the same is that with effect from 1-3-1986 itself the Heading No. 7302.90 had to be read in place of Heading No. 7302.20 in Notification No. 175/86-C.E.
