Circular No. 535/31/2000-CUS The Ministry is required to send its comments to the C&AG within six weeks. On receipt of the DAP’s from the C&AG they are immediately sent to the Jurisdictional Commissioners of Central Excise for furnishing their reply/comments within 4 weeks. This leaves the Ministry barely 14 days time to examine the comments of the Commissioner, take policy decision if required and send the comments to the C&AG. It has however been observed that the Commissioners are not assigning due importance/urgency to the DAPs.
The Standard Input Output Norms appearing at Sl. No. C-1503 (under the Engineering Product Group) as amended vide the above Public Notice shall be corrected to read as under.
