clarification circulars issued from the Board
Circular No. 9 dated 31st January 1995
It has been
brought to the notice of the Board that many a time the instructions/
clarification issued by the Board are not received by the field formations. A
suggestion has been received that in case the instructions/ clarifications are
issued under a running serial number, the field offices can come to know of
non-receipt of such instructions/ clarifications, (Such a system in the Central
Excise Wing is already existing.)

has, therefore, been decided that all instructions/ clarifications issued from
the Board to the field formations in respect of customs matters shall be
serially numbered w.e.f. 01.01.1995. The numbering and monitoring of these
instructions/ circulars shall be centralised in Customs-III Section, who will
maintain a register for the purpose showing the Sl. No. of the circular/
instruction, subject, Board's file number etc. The instructions/ circulars
number will be mentioned on the top right hand corner. These numbers will be on
yearly basis i.e. numbers will re-start from 1st January of each year. For
example the numbers should be circular No. X/ Y-Cus., where 'X' is for serial
number (to be obtained from S.O. (Cus. III) and 'Y' is the year of issue.
3. All instructions/
clarifications issued by the following sections shall be covered by these
instructions:
CUS. III, CUS.IV, CUS. V,
CUS. VT, Tariff Unit, Drawback Directorate, Anti- Smuggling Wing, L.C.Wing, F.T.T., I.C.D. and
