CBEC Results Framework Document (RFD)
SOME of the targets the CBEC has set for itself for the year are:
Implementation of Goods & Services Tax (GST) - Drafting of model CGST and IGST : As stated by the former Chairman, nobody consults CBEC on these matters; so they need not bother about this.
Appeals in CESTAT: Filing of early hearing application in cases involving revenue of more than Rs.5 crore and pending for more than one year or more as on 31-03-2014 : This is another classic way of wasting time, money and paper. The CESTAT is busy clearing Stay petitions and not many matters are heard finally. How many cases can be heard early? But this is certainly a good method to keep the army employed.
Finalisation of acquisition, purchase and building plan for the new building of NACEN exclusively for probationers : Are they referring to Hindupur or Faridabad?
Prompt and friendly tax administration to encourage voluntary compliance : Board wants to/hopes to:
++ Dispose of a refund claim within 3 months of receipt of a complete claim
++ Remit drawback within 7 working days of filing of manifest in the case of electronic processing of declarations, filing of a paper claim in the case of manual processing
++ Clear the goods within 48 hours of filing of a complete & correct export / import declaration.
++ Notify common forms for registration for Central Excise and Service Tax
++ Draft model CGST and IGST law
++ Improve satisfaction and efficiency of the indirect tax administration
Good luck
