Development of infrastructure - Correspondence by Custom Houses, Central
Excise Commissionerate directly with other Ministries
Circular No. 80 dated 26th
October 1998
The proposal for establishment of new ICD, CFS and
Air Cargo Complexes are presently being examined by Inter-ministerial Committee
consisting of representatives from the various Ministries. The said committee is
functioning in the Ministry of Commerce. It has been observed that the
commissioners of Customs/ Central Excise have been sending letters to the
Ministry of Commerce directly, occasionally with copies through Board. The views
of the Commissioners are often at variance and are not in the line with the
approach adopted by the Board. In addition, Board may take a different view in
some cases from administrative angle on such matters and in all mattes, which
involve policy decisions and need a uniform approach at the Board's level.
2. Board therefore
desires that whenever a reference is received from any Ministry on any matter
having policy implication, even though received directly by the Field Formations
the report for the same may be sent to the Board for formulating its response
and replying to the concerned Ministry appropriately. In case the concerned
Ministry is required to be intimated by the Commissionerate they may be
intimated that the necessary information has been sent to the Board for onward
transmission to the said Ministry. Direct correspondence with other Ministries
on policy matters may be avoided.
