As per the Notification issued on 23.02.2012 it says that said draft regulation shall be taken into consideration after the expiry of a period of forty-five days from the date on which the copies of the Gazette of India, in which these draft regulations are published, are made available to the public.
Then, as per my calculation after 45 days from publication means as on from 09.04.2012 it will be taken in to consideration.
