<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The CBEC is seriously monitoring the work of the Commissioners (Appeals). Board wants the Commissioners (Appeals)</font></p>
<blockquote>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">1. To decide 70 cases per month.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">2. To ensure that no case remains pending for more than six months.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">3. While taking up the appeals, preference be given to disposal of older cases.</font></p>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Board wants Chief Commissioners to send a quarterly report to the Board.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Board has issued certain other instructions:</font></p>
<blockquote>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">In respect of such adjudicating officers whose orders are found by Commissioner(Appeals) to be of non-speaking nature or suffer generally from non-application of mind or patently wrong interpretation of law or tariff or where adjudication orders are contrary to Board's instructions squarely dealing with the issue or where there is non-observance of principle of natural justice, Commissioners(Appeals) <strong>should send a separate note/report to the Chief Commissioner, with a copy to the concerned Commissioner pointing out the deficiencies citing the specific defective orders so that appropriate remedial measures can be taken in time.</strong></font></p>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Now when does the Commissioner (Appeals) comes to know about these deficiencies? Normally at the time of personal hearing when the party's counsel brings it to his notice. At that stage, is he supposed to send the report to the Chief Commissioner and Commissioner? And what remedial measures can be taken in an order that is at the appellate stage?</font></p>

<p align="center"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong><font color="#006600">Proposal to modify the present abatement rates for products assessed under Section 4A (RSP based assessment) – Board invites comments</font></strong></font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The CBEC has carried out a study to find out whether value determination under Section 4A is matching with the transaction value (Section 4 value) of the goods assessed under MRP Valuation, in most of the cases or not. This comparison has been made considering the fact that generally, the value determination under Section 4A should be more or less equal to the value determined under Section 4, because the abatement percentage prescribed by the Govt. generally consist of post-removal expenses. Board is aware of the fact that there could be some variation where the value determined under both the provisions may vary but as a matter of principle, there should not be large variation in majority of cases.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Analysis of the data shows that in respect of the six commodities, the value determined under Section 4A (RSP based value) is lower than the transaction value (value under Section 4) in more than 50% of the cases. These commodities are:</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">(i) Paints; (ii) Colour TV; (iii) Aerated Water; (iv) Ceramic Tiles; (v) Cosmetics; and (vi) Lubricants.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Board feels that the present abatement rate for these six commodities should be reduced in order to bring the assessable value determined under Section 4A nearer to the transaction value (Section 4) in majority of the cases.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Before taking any decision on this subject, CBEC would like to have the views and comments of the trade and industry Associations. In case the Associations feel that the study made by the department do not reflect the true position, in that case they may submit the data along with the documents for the products which are sold in maximum quantity to present their case. While submitting their representation they should provide the actual transaction value (excluding taxes & duties) in order to have comparison with the Section 4A value. In case the goods are sold form depot etc in that case the actual commercial invoice from the depot should be used.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The Chief Commissioners of Central Excise are requested to bring the contents of this letter to the notice of the major industries manufacturing the above mentioned items in their jurisdiction.</font></p>

<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">A Netizen asked us, “what is the full form of GAR – 7?</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">It stands for Government Account (Receipts and Payments)</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">As per Rule 26 of the Central Government Account (Receipts and Payments) Rules, 1983.</font></p>
<blockquote>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>26. <em>Grant of receipted challan by the bank.—</em></strong></font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">(1) Subject as otherwise provided in these rules or unless the Government direct otherwise in relation to any particular class of transactions, any person or party paying money into the bank on Government account under the provisions of <strong><font color="#FF6600">rule 19</font> </strong> shall present with it challan (in duplicate, triplicate or quadruplicate as specified by the concerned Ministry or Department) in Form <strong><font color="#FF6600">GAR 7</font> </strong> showing distinctly the nature of the payment, the department or office on whose account it is made, particulars of the concerned Pay and Accounts Office, proper account classification of the credit, and where necessary, information relating to its allocation between Government Department concerned. As far as possible separate challans should be used for moneys creditable to different heads of account.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">(2) Save where any other arrangement has been authorised by the Government for the supply of challan forms, printed forms of challan, which may with advantage be bi-lingual, shall be supplied by the departmental officer or by the bank free of charge.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">NOTE 1.—Receipts relating to direct taxes (such as income tax, corporation tax) and indirect taxes (such as customs and excise duties) administered respectively by the Central Board of Direct Taxes and the Central Board of Excise and Customs, shall be credited or remitted by the tax payers into the Reserve Bank of India and branches of specified public sector banks at a selected centre in accordance with rule 7, using challan forms specifically prescribed under the relevant provisions of the schemes of revenue collection of these Boards.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">NOTE 2.—In making rupee deposits to the Government Account in respect of imports financed under Direct Payment Procedure applicable to various foreign loans or credits, Form GAR 8 shall be used invariably in quadruplicate.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">What then is Rule 19? It reads as,:</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>19. <em>Cheque, bank drafts tendered in payment of Government revenues, dues, etc.—</em></strong></font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">(1) (a) Cheques, bank drafts drawn on local branch of a scheduled bank may be accepted by departmental officers or by the specified branch of the accredited bank or by a bank specially notified for the purpose, in payment of Government dues or in settlement of other transactions with the Government, subject to the provisions of special instructions, if any, issued by a Ministry, Department and, or union territory, in consultation with the Controller General of Accounts, relating to any specific type of dues being followed. The cheques, bank drafts, should be crossed by the drawer before tendering. However, until they are cleared, the Government cannot admit that payment has been received; consequently, the receipt of the cheque alone may be acknowledged when it is tendered. A formal payment receipt shall be given to the tenderer (or sent to his address wherever such an arrangement is envisaged by the department, or bank) after the cheque or draft has been cleared. The preliminary acknowledgement of the receipt of the cheque or draft, will be given in the form indicated below by the departmental Officers:— </font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">"Received cheque/ draft number ------- for Rs -------- drawn on --------- on account of --------".</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>NOTE 1. </strong>—The bank reserves to itself the right to refuse to accept cheques or drafts, collection of which in its opinion cannot reasonably be undertaken. If, however, a bank draft drawn on a branch of a bank is tendered at the same (i.e. the drawee) branch for being credited to Govt. account, the receipted challan may be delivered to the tenderer on the same day, if the draft is otherwise in order.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>NOTE 2. </strong>—Metal or paper token or a preliminary acknowledgement as above will be issued by the bank to the depositor to facilitate delivery of the receipted challan to him in due course.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">(b) In the event of the cheque or draft being dishonoured, the fact shall be reported at once to the tenderer with a demand for payment in cash and the dishonoured cheque or draft should be returned to the tenderer on surrendering the preliminary acknowledgement of the receipt of the cheque or draft or any token previously granted. The Government cannot, however, accept any liability for loss or damage which may possibly occur as a result of delay in intimating that the cheque or draft has been dishonoured.</font></p>
</blockquote>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Rule 7 reads as:-</font></p>
<blockquote>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>7. <em>Facility for public to credit Government dues direct into the accredited bank of a Ministry/Department and certain tax receipts in other Nationalised bank also.-</em></strong></font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Money due to the Government may also be credited directly into the specified branch of the accredited bank in which a particular departmental officer holds his account, in accordance with the procedure notified by the Ministry, Department and, or Union Territory concerned for the purpose. Tax receipts pertaining to the Central Board of Direct Taxes and Central Board of Excise and Customs (and of any other particular Ministry or Department as may be decided by the Government from time to time) and also sales tax revenue of Delhi Administration are authorised under special procedures notified therefor, to be credited by the tax payers directly into any branch of the authorised bank within the municipal limits at the selected centre notified for the purpose. Form of challan to be used, and related matters are contained in rule 26.</font></p>
