Today is Central Excise Day - Dr Anil Nigam, AR in CESTAT Gets Commendation Certificate

TODAY is Central Excise Day. Though the Board is busy with Budget and Parliament and the field is busy with collecting Revenue to be somewhere near the ever-elusive target, the Department is celebrating the DAY all over the country.

The Board has introduced this year a scheme of honouring the officers with certificates of merit on the Central Excise Day.

40 officers have been selected for the award of the certificates. Dr. Anil Nigam, AR at CESTAT, Bangalore is one of the awardees. Anil is a post graduate medical doctor turned revenue officer and is a keen cartoonist. DDT congratulates Dr. Nigam and the 39 other officers who have received this rare award in the first year of its inception. The awards are to be presented today at New Delhi. CBEC seems to be not very sure of the programme - no invitations have been sent out - at least we didn't get one.

In the field, some Commissionerates are felicitating the assessees on the occasion of Central Excise Day.

TIOL wishes all Central Excise employees a happy day.
