CESTAT - Appeals - DDs Should be Valid for 60 days
A CESTAT Circular states:
During receipt of Appeal/application in the Central Registry, it has been noticed that the DD/PO submitted towards registration fee has only a few days of validity left on the day of its submission. It may be appreciated that the DD/PO is valid only for three months and that scrutiny, rectification of defects, forwarding the DD/PO for clearance etc consume considerable time.
Keeping above in view, all concerned are requested to ensure that DD/PO submitted towards appeal/application fee must be valid at least for 60 days on the date of submission.
This issues with the approval of Hon'ble Registrar.
But why can't the CESTAT change to e-payment instead of depending on the archaic Demand Draft?
