Subject :  On-line submission of certain information in respect of production, clearance, revenue-liability etc. on a weekly basis by major Central Excise paying units – reg.

 

            Hon’ble Finance Minister has desired that there should be closer and regular interaction at senior levels between the Department and the major central excise assesses, who contribute bulk of the Central Excise revenue. This will enable the senior officers of the Department to keep in touch with the prevailing realities and to take prompt remedial action for the problems, if any, faced by such assesses.
