The large scale promotions at the Central Board of Excise and Customs, mandated to formulate policy concerning levy and collection of customs and central excise duties and service tax, were made effective from late last month.
A total of 2,162 officials — 1,863 from the grade of superintendents of central excise and 299 from the grade of superintendents of customs (preventive) — have been given these ad-hoc promotions on ‘in-situ basis’ to the post of Assistant Commissioners (ACs), CBEC officials said.It is for the first time that such a large number of superintendents have been promoted as ACs (Group A) at CBEC.
These promotions come against the backdrop of Group-B revenue officials typically taking a much longer time to reach the level of ACs, as against their peers in the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), officials said.
