4. 1. The gruesome episode of Nandigram has compelled the Central government to review its SEZ policy and to scrap the ceiling; the states have been directed to buy land from the farmers at the floor rate. 2. In specifying the floor rate, the state government will be a mere facilitator in the land acquisition process. 3. Over the years, corporates and industrialists have been paying low rates for the land that commands greater market value, and this has resulted into the Nandigram catastrophe. 4. Floor rate in the eastern region is just Rs. 5 lakh per acre, whereas it is Rs. 20 lakh in Haryana.

5. 1. The Commerce Ministry constituted many expert committees to find an alternative to the duty entitlement passbook scheme (DEPB) but no workable replacement for the scheme was suggested. 2. The DEPB scheme is designed by the Commerce Ministry to reimburse basic and special customs duty paid by an exporter on imported goods. 3. The DEPB scheme is full of anomalies as there is a plethora of taxes existing at the state level and the Central government may not have the authority to reimburse state taxes. 4. Hooda committee has recommended extending the DEPB scheme by three years but this is no tangible solution
