DG, DRI = Chief Commissioner, Customs
AS per Sl. No.1 of the Notification No.83/2004-Cus NT dated 30.06.2004, the Principal DG, DRI is to be the Principal Chief Commissioner of Customs and to have All India Jurisdiction.
Now, the DG, DRI is made equal to the Chief Commissioner of Customs with All India Jurisdiction.
The DRI is to be headed by a Principal Chief Commissioner/Principal DG level officer, but ever since Mr. Najib Shah joined the Board, they have not been able to find a PDG. Now perhaps, they are planning to post a DG. It is unfortunate that the Government is not able to fine one officer suitable for the post of PDG, DRI.
