Indirect Taxes - Chief Commissioner's Annual Conference - Action points - Withdrawal of Cases
CBEC has asked the Chief Commissioners to put up the list of proposed withdrawals/withdrawn cases of CESTAT and High Court below the threshold limit on the respective websites of the Commissionerates under their charge and also inform the concerned assessees who are the respondents in all such cases.
This is one of the Action Points arising out of the Chief Commissioner's Annual Conference held at New Delhi from 16th to 18th June, 2016.
Further, the Commissioners are required to issue Trade Notices/Public Notices, disseminating information in so far as they relate to the assessees, from the various instructions/circulars issued. (what does this mean?)
Board wants a consolidated action taken report on the above mentioned points to by 30/06/2016.
CBEC F.No.390/Misc./38/2016-JC., Dated: June 23, 2016
The following was the suggestion that DDT 2781 made while reporting the CBEC letter F.No.390/Misc./163/2010-JC dated February 4, 2016.
"It would also be nice on the part of the Board to inform all the assessees concerned the appeals which have been withdrawn by the Department rather than parting with this information only after an RTI application is filed! The Commissionerate and the CESTAT website could explore the idea of carrying a link giving all the details of such 'withdrawal applications' and thereby contribute their might towards 'ease of doing business' .”
