Although the reorganization of formations under CBEC will take effect from 15th October 2014, to avoid inconvenience to the existing Central Excise and Service Tax assessees, they will continue to be mapped in ACES to the existing location codes (Commissionerate, Division and Range). Applicants for new registration can also apply to the existing formations.
I am directed to say that TRU receives following monthly reports from field formations which are no longer required.
CPC-TDS Communication to Banks Regarding Non reporting of 15G/H transaction in contravention of rule 31A (4) of Income Tax Rules read with section 200 of Income Tax Act. 1) In this regard, it is to inform you that ________ branches out of ________ active branches of your bank have not reported transaction of payment of interest on which tax was not deducted in view of declaration of 15G or 15H form by the payee. We are also sending a separate communication to the non-compliant branches, attached in the list.
At present there are more than 100 reports that are being sent by the field formations on a monthly basis to various Directorates and sections of the Board. Also, the present reporting system within the Department suffers from the problem of unreliability and susceptibility to error as it involves manual compilation at various stages.

Doubts have been raised in certain quarters regarding powers of a Central Excise officer to conduct audit, in the background of a recent judgment of Hon’ble High Court of Delhi dated 04.08.2014 in case of M/s Travelite (India) [2014-TIOL-1304-HC-DEL-ST] wherein the Hon’ble court has held that the powers to conduct audit as envisaged in rule 5A (2) of the Service Tax Rules, 1994, does not have appropriate statutory backing and therefore quashed the rule.
