Administrative Control over Export Oriented Units by Central Excise formations
DGEP had through a letter dated 18.5.2010 notified the decision of the Board on the issue of shifting of administrative control over EOUs/EHTPs/STPs to the Central Excise formations across the country and circulated this letter to all the Chief Commissioners/Director Generals working under CBEC for appropriate action before July 31, 2010.
In dated 27.07.2010, we brought forth this aspect to light by reporting the Trade Notices (and the corrigendum) issued by Bangalore I Commissionerate, since the said DGEP letter was not in the public domain.
Now, the Board desires that this DGEP letter may be read as Circular No. dated 04/8/2010 so as to put this decision of the Board in the public domain.
For the last fifteen years, Board had been periodically giving clarifications about the jurisdictional control over EOUs – let us hope at least now there is some finality.
CIRCULAR NO. , Dated: August 4, 2010
