Circular No. 468/34/99-CX I am directed to say that the progress in Central Excise Computerization was reviewed by the board in a meeting held on 22.6.99. It has noted that 42 Commissionerates have started capturing assessee profile (ECCMAST) and the monthly returns (RT-12). More Commissionerates are expected to commence this job shortly. The quality of the data is still not satisfactory but it was felt that a period of six moths will be adequate to improve quality to the desired level.
Circular No. 467/33/99-CX the personnel selected for audit work should be those having sufficient knowledge of Central Excise Rules and procedures. The executive personnel viz. Inspectors selected for audit should have a minimum of 5 years service in that cadre, preferably in a Range. The tenure of the incumbent who would be getting special pay, will be in 3 years
