CBEC wants Chief Commissioners to effect local transfers of IRS officers
CBEC Member Joy Kumari Chander reminds the Chief Commissioners that:
As per para 4.7 of the policy, the officers will, as far as possible, be rotated between the Customs and Central Excise branches every two years and adequate experience in Service Tax branch will also be ensured. This shall be done after the Annual Transfers have been effected. At stations, where there are separate Chief Commissioners of Central Excise and Customs, a Committee of all such Chief Commissioners shall collectively decide on the rotation between the two branches at that station. At other stations, local rotation will be done jointly by the Chief Commissioners who exercise control over the posts located at that station.
She wants the Chief Commissioners to carry out local rotation in respect of all Additional/ Joint/ Deputy/ Assistant Commissioners in their jurisdiction as prescribed in Transfer/Placement Policy once the AGT orders are issued. Requests for transfer/posting within the Zone for officers with adequate tenure left in the Zone are to be attended to by the Chief Commissioners concerned and not by the Board.
