Committee of Chief Commissioners and Commissioners – Service Tax - CBEC amends

The CBEC has amended the notifications specifying the jurisdiction of the Committees of Chief Commissioners and Commissioners for Service Tax, mainly to rope in the DGST also a as Chief Commissioner and to include the newly created Guwahati Commissionerate.

With so many Commissionerates, Commissioners, Chief Commissioners and frequent transfers, it is virtually impossible to keep track of jurisdiction. Maybe we should seriously think of delinking adjudication from the Department by creating an independent Indian Revenue Judicial Service, which can be given the job of adjudication exclusively.

Notification NO. 2, 3, 4, Dated: January 15, 2009
