This notification substitutes multiple entries to clarify that exemptions apply only to goods “other than pre-packaged and labelled.” It aligns exemption provisions for jaggery, curd, cereals, flour, pulses, and similar food items with the new Legal Metrology-based definition. This ensured consistent tax treatment between packaged and loose food items.
