Generate QuizIn India, which specific government body is responsible for conducting investigations and recommending the imposition of Anti-Dumping Duties and Safeguard Duties?
- Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC)
- Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR)
- Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI)
- NITI Aayog
Answer: Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR)
The DGTR, operating under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, is the apex national authority for trade defense. It conducts rigorous, quasi-judicial investigations to determine if domestic industries are suffering 'material injury' due to dumped imports or sudden surges. While DGTR recommends the duties, the actual legal imposition and collection are executed by the Ministry of Finance (CBIC).
