Legal Corner Icon — the image was hosted by the publisher and was not captured.THE Adviser to the Union Finance Minister, Parthasarathi Shome addressing the "Central Excise Day Celebrations", in New Delhi yesterday. Revenue Secretary Sumit Bose, CBEC Chairman Praveen Mahajan and Members of CBEC and two Inspectors guarding the shore are seen in the picture above. What do those liveried Inspectors do standing on the stage throughout the function? Are they ADCs or security personnel of the SPG? What are they supposed to do other than standing as statues?
With hardly five weeks left in this financial year, the top revenue babus are more worried about revenue targets than anything else. The Revenue Secretary was hopeful that the Revenue Targets would be achieved while the CBEC Chief wanted the field staff to work hard to meet the Revenue targets. Madam, Please ensure that they stop going around attaching properties, which will bring neither revenue nor goodwill to the department, but would only help the lawyers.
