(1) In connection with Federation, the proposed method of calculating the immunity in the case of Kutch was as follows:--
To the trade figures supplied by the State the British Indian tariff rates should be applied and from this total should be deducted the
difference between the duty calculated at British Indian tariff rates and that actually collected at State rates on goods not consumed in the
State itself.
As the figures necessary to apply this formula are not available the figure given in the statement represents simply the amounts of
customs duty retained by the State in 1945-46.
(2) The value of the immunity in the case of Bhavnagar is the total of customs collections made and retained by the State. The figures
for 1945-46 is abnormal.
The figures for 1930-31 to 1935-36 were as follows:--
Year Rs.
1930-31 51,02,974
1931-32 75,91,016
1932-33 81,93,368
