I am directed to say that the Board has decided to review the Power of Adjudication of the Central Excise officers and the monetary limit prescribed under Section 33 and Section 11A of the Central Excise Act, 1944 with the objective of expeditious adjudication of cases. For this purpose, the Board has decided to prescribe the uniform monetary limit to different categories of officers for the purpose of deciding the competence of adjudication of cases without differentiating whether or not cases involve fraud
