Who's Who in Central Excise?
Ms. Janaki Arun Kumar is the the Principal Commissioner of the Chennai-I Central Excise Commissionerate. She also holds the additional charge of the post of Chief Commissioner of Central Excise Coimbatore Zone. She was also holding the post of Chief Commissioner of Central Excise, Chennai. Yesterday the Board gave her the additional charge of the post of Principal Chief Commissioner of Central Excise, Chennai. So, she is now the Principal Chief Commissioner of Central Excise, Chennai, the Chief Commissioner of Central Excise, Coimbatore and the Principal Commissioner of Central Excise, Chennai-I. It has become really very difficult to keep track of who is holding what post in the field under CBEC. And they don't update their websites and the officers are so busy that it is almost impossible to get them on phone.
We don't know whether there would be dual control in GST, but as of now, there is no clarity on how many controls we have in Central Excise and Service Tax - and where they are.
