What changed in the Customs Act, 1969 between the 2024-06-30 and 2025-06-30 versions

Between the version published 2024-06-30 and the one published 2025-06-30, 6 sections appeared for the first time.

Reading this in plain terms: a section appearing for the first time usually means a new provision was inserted. A section disappearing usually means it was omitted, though it can also have been moved under a new heading this comparison did not match. Treat this as a guide to what to check in the official text, not as proof.

2 other sections looked different at first but were found in both versions’ text, so the difference was in the PDF layout rather than the law. They are not listed.

New in this version

• section 3F: Hiring of technology specialists, auditors, accountants and goods evaluators on short term contract
• section 83C: Cargo Tracking System and e-Bilty mechanism
• section 156A: Proceedings against authority and persons
• section 187A: Presumption of legal character of vehicle
• section 225: Establishment of Customs Command Fund (CCF)
• section 226: Digital Enforcement Station

Not found under the same number

These were in the previous version. This version does not have them under the same number or heading, and its text does not say they were omitted. They may have been omitted, or moved and reworded under a new number. Check the official PDF before relying on either reading.

• section 3DD: Directorate General of Post Clearance audit (PCA)

How to check this yourself
