The finance ministry is at loggerheads with the commerce ministry over

the latter's proposal to create a new secretariat merging the

anti-dumping and safeguard functions.

At present, the commerce ministry-the anti-dumping directorate in the

ministry-is responsible for taking anti-dumping measures. The ministry

also handles anti-dumping cases against Indian exports.

However, the safeguard duties are levied by the revenue department. A

director-general for safeguards has been appointed in the revenue

department to handle safeguard duties.
