Circular No. 953/14/2011 New Delhi, the 12th September, 2011 ToAll Chief Commissioners of Central Excise & Service Tax, All Chief Commissioners of Central Excise & Customs, All Chief Commissioners of Customs, All Chief Commissioners of LTU. Sub: Regional Advisory Committee for organized sector and small scale industries –Meetings to be chaired by Chief Commissioners-reg. Sir,I am directed to invite your attention to the instructions contained in the Board’s letter F.No. 282/10/93-CX.9, dated 21.12.93, wherein, in supersession of earlier instructions, guidelines were issued for constitution of Regional Advisory Committee (RAC) for organized sector in each of the Central Excise Collectorate (since re-christened as Commissionerate). Attention is also invited to the Board’s instructions on the constitution of a separate RAC for small scale industries, issued vide letter F.No.282/34/73-CX-9, dated 22.12.75. It may be recalled that in terms of existing guidelines, there can be 12 members in the RAC for organized sector and it is open for the Commissioner to co-opt not more than 3 members for a specified period or for any particular meeting. Similarly, in terms of the existing instructions, the RAC for small scale industries shall consist of not more than 8 members and not more than 2 members can be co-opted for a specific period or for any particular meeting. The RAC meetings, which are held once in three months for organized sector and once in six months for small scale industries are presently being chaired by the Commissioner and the functions of the RAC are purely advisory in nature intended to resolve procedural difficulties of general nature. The Committees, which were earlier constituted with the approval of the Board, are now being constituted by the Chief Commissioner of the Zone and the earlier requirement of seeking post-facto approval of the Board for the re-constituted RAC has also been dispensed with vide Board’s letter F.No. 282/5/2008-CX.9, dated 24.9.2008. 2. The subject of upgrading the level of RAC has been under consideration of the Board for past some time. The Board is of the view that to facilitate greater participation of the representatives of the trade and industry and also to raise the quality of deliberations in the forum, the RAC should be constituted at the zonal level and the Chief Commissioner should preside over the RAC meetings. Constitution of the RAC at the Zonal level will also ensure uniformity of action within the Zone and expeditious implementation of the decisions taken in such meetings. 3. In view of above, it has been decided by the Board that:- Yours faithfully, (Surendra Singh) |
