Government Notifies Recruitment Rules for Inspectors of Central Excise

THE government has notified the Central Excise and Customs Commissionerates Inspector (Central Excise, Preventive Officer and Examiner), Group 'B' Posts Recruitment Rules, 2016.

The maximum age limit for recruitment of Inspectors has been increased to 30 years from 27.

Ninety per cent of the posts are to be filled by direct recruitment and ten per cent by promotion from within the department. Earlier the ratio was 66:33.

An Inspector will get a gross salary of about sixty thousand rupees apart from several other benefits, which is certainly far more than the attractive CTC packages offered by top software companies for engineering and management graduates.
