Government clears expansion of DGCEI across the country
The FM has cleared creation of new intelligence units across the country and appointment of over 8000 personnel to check any leakage in its earnings from the indirect tax. Anticipating increase in service tax revenue, the ministry has also decided to restructure DGCEI – a body tasked with checking excise duty and service tax evasion, official sourses said.
There will be three more zonal units of the DGCEI in Lucknow, Bhopal and Hyderabad. These three zonal units will have three regional units each as well, they said. “The government has approved total nine zonal units and 27 regional units of the DGCEI to check leakage of excise duty and service tax evasion” a Finance Ministry official said. At present DGCEI has six zonal units and 18 regional units.
The move has come in the wake of the government witnessing a growth in the service sector and increase in the service sector and increase in the number of taxable services. Although service tax has shown tremendous potential as an area of tax collection, it still remains a largely untapped and unexplored sector. The contribution of service tax to the gross tax revenue at a mere 13 percent is not commensurate with the contribution of service sector to the DDP of our country which was more than 60 per cent in the last financial year. It is, therefore, essential to provide more manpower for service tax related matters”, according to a intra-ministry communication on the issue.
It is pertinent to mention that strengthening and expansion of the existing DGCEI formations is a better solution, in the long run, to effectively curb the ever increasing menace of central excise duty and service tax evasion than bifurcating it into two, the communication said. The DGCEI has, over the period of time, developed requisite expertise in cultivation and nurturing of a credible informer base and therefore enjoys an edge in gathering information, developing them into actionable intelligence and investigating cases of service tax evasion leading to recovery of government dues, it said.
The DGCEI , as the apex intelligence organization as far as central excise duty and service tax evasion matters are concerned, is well known and trusted by the informers. “Informers, who work on trust, may not start giving information to a newly created intelligence organisaition from day one, thereby creating a kind of vacuum,”, the communication reads.
The DGCEI has detected RS. 8,000 crore of service tax evasion during 2013-14. According to a Finance Ministry data, there has been an increase of over 300 times in revenue collection from service tax in the past two decades. The ministry had collected RS. 1.32 lakh crore as service tax revenue during 2012-13 as against Rs. 407 crore in 1994-95 it said.

AN OVERVIEW OF CR IN CBEC
As per the approved plans, the CBEC will have as many as 119 Central Excise Commissionerates; 22 Service Tax Commissionerates, 60 Customs Commissionerates and 45 Audit Commissionerates. Since Mumbai has the largest number of service tax assessees it has been given as many as FIVE SERVICE TAX Commissionerates; followed by FOUR for Delhi; THREE for Chennai; TWO for Bangalore and ONE each for Hyderabad and Pune.
Noida which has emerged as a key industrial hub in the NCR, is going to be split into many Commissionerates - ONE Service Tax Commissionerate and an independent Customs Commissionerate. To accommodate regional aspirations, Uttaranchal has got Dehradun Commissionerate. Similarly, Telengana will have one Central Excise Commissionerate. In Seemandhara, Kakinada and Vijayawada will have independent Customs Commissionerates. In Punjab, Ludhiana will be a new Customs Commissionerate. The Tughlakabad ICD is going to be split into two independent Customs Commissionerate. To keep Haryana happy, Sonipat will be a full-fledged Central Excise Commissionerate. Goa will have two independent Customs and Central Excise Commissionerates. For Gujarat, Mundra Port will be a full-fledged Customs Commissionerate. Vadodara and Ahmedabad will get two Audit Commissionerates. In the East, Ranchi will be split into two Commissionerates and a new Commissionerate will be created in Dhanbad.
As per sources in the CBEC, Madhya Pradesh will get two new Central Excise Commissionerates in Jabalpur and Bilaspur. Kolkata will get one more service tax commissionerate along with an Audit Commissionerate. Bangalore Customs is going to be split into two separate commissionerates and will also have an Audit Commissionerate. India's busiest port Nhava Sheva is going to have more Customs Commissionerates. Similarly, Chennai will have more Customs Commissionerates. For Guwahati which never had its own sanctioned staff, it will be getting hundreds of sanctioned posts and will also have an audit commissionerate. In total, there will be as many as 60 appellate commissioners and the rest out of 440 sanctioned posts of Commissioners will be bagged by the Directorates.
As per the Board, they are going to notify the sanctioned posts in less than a week; followed by the creation of new commissionerates and finally, the distribution of manpower in the coming months. Only in future, after a review, the idea is to reduce the number of Central Excise Commissionerates and go for more of Audit Commissionerates.
Let's hope the CBEC is able to speed up the process of implementation of Cadre Review and also give more hands to its own DG(HRD) which is terribly understaffed and overburdened. For a smooth implementation and an efficient upkeep of HR records, it would be in own interest of the CBEC to arm its HRD with more manpower for smooth roll-out of the cadre restructuring plans.
