Regarding issue of Standard Public Notices in the Custom Houses/ Excise
Commissionerate
Circular No.
42 dated 1st July 1999
As per of a
revised communication strategy, the Board has reviewed the current system of
issuing circulars containing instructions, procedures or clarifications.
Consequent to this review, the following decisions have been taken for
implementation: -
All instruction/ clarifications would be issued by the Board only
through numbered circulars as hitherto. In case any clarification/ instruction
having relevance for all field formation is issued to a particular Commissioner
without being numbered such cases should be referred back to the concerned
section of the Board for issue of a numbered circular.
All instructions/
clarification issued in the form of numbered circulars would be made public and
circulated to the staff as well as the Trade. The Directorate of Publicity and
Public Relations would make available copies of these circulars to national
level Chambers of Commerce and Industry as also the Private Publications such as
Excise Law Times, Excise & Customs Reporter, Shaqun Publications etc.
Circular of the Board which are classified (Confident/ Secret/ Top
Secret) will not be made available to the Trade.
In view of the decision of the Board to make all numbered Circulars
public, the field formations must issue copies of the same circular to the Trade
without changing the number or the language of the circular. This is intended to
prevent divergent practices being followed in the field based on local
deviations, which creep into the Trade Notices and Standing orders issued by the
Commissioners.
The
aforesaid instruction may be given effect to immediately.
