(iv) Changes have been made in Rule 7 relating to distribution of credits of input services by an input service distributer (ISD). This is to ensure their scientific allocation to only such units where they have been put to use and proportionate to turnover.

(v) Rule 10A has been inserted to permit transfer of unutilized credit of SAD lying in balance at the end of each quarter to another factory of the manufacturer.
