Extra Territorial Commissioners of Customs
IT has come to notice of the Board that some Chief Commissioners/Directors General are assigning additional charge of posts of Commissioner under their jurisdiction to the Commissioner working in other Zones/Directorates without approval of the Board.
The Board reminds that "The Chief Commissioners/Directors General have been empowered to assign additional charge in the grade of Commissioner of Customs and Central Excise within their respective Zones. They are not authorised to assign additional charge of the post of Commissioner under their jurisdiction to any Commissioner posted in any other Zone/Directorate. The order regarding assigning of additional charge in the grade of Commissioner to the Commissioner working outside the Zone are issued only by the Board with the approval of Chairman, Central Board of Excise and Customs."
How sad the learned Chief Commissioners do not know these elementary principles!
Board requests that that if there is any need to assign the charge of a post of Commissioner to a Commissioner posted outside the Zone/Directorate, a proposal in this regard, with justification, may be sent by the concerned Chief Commissioner/Director General to the Board for processing further.
