What are those Inspectors Doing?

By Vijay Kumar

YESTERDAY, CBEC organised a function to distribute AEO certificates. Picture shows the Chairman, CBEC, DG, DGPM and two Inspectors of Central Excise. What are the two inspectors doing there? Are they meant for security or decoration? If they are meant for security, are they trained in security? If it is for decoration, we can certainly hire better people at lesser cost. The Inspector with the least salary gets about 60,000 rupees a month. Should you pay an inspector 60000 rupees and then make him stand like a mannequin on a dais doing nothing?

We are not able to get out of the shackles of the colonial regime. Will we continue to have this humour in uniform in GST?
