Post Deputy Commissioners to SEZs - CBEC Tells Chief Commissioners
DEPARTMENT of Commerce (DoC) has informed that a large number of posts of Deputy Commissioner of Customs are lying vacant in various Special Economic Zones (SEZs). As this has been largely affecting the functioning of SEZ Customs, which has a direct bearing on imports and exports for SEZ, DoC is pressing hard for filling up of all the vacant posts of Deputy Commissioner of Customs of SEZs.
In October 2014, Board had promoted 2128 officers as Assistant Commissioners and at that time, Board had requested the Chief Commissioners to ensure that appropriate number of officers are posted to the SEZs falling under their jurisdiction.
Board once again requests the Chief Commissioners to ensure that adequate number of AC/DC level officers are posted in SEZs falling in their jurisdiction, without further delay and action taken report in this regard is furnished to the Board by 02.01.2015 positively, duly indicating the total number of encadred posts in SEZs and number of officers posted so far, as Revenue Secretary is to be apprised of the position.
Will Chief Commissioners oblige the Board?
At the same time, Board in another letter has called for applications for the post of Deputy Commissioners in the SEZs of Cochin, Madras, Visakhapatnam, Falta, Indore, Manikanchan and Kandla. (F.No.-A. 35017/71/2013-Ad.II )
