New Delhi, May 27 (PTI) The government on Monday revised norms related to permissible amount of wastage and standard input output with regard to export of gold and silver jewellery.
An industry official said the wastage norms have been eased and the manufacturers are disappointed with it.
"The wastage permissible and standard input-output norms with regard to export of jewellery have been revised," the Directorate General of Foreign Trade said in a public notice.
