CBIC enables Central Excise Officers to Adjudicate Excise and Service Tax – Pre-GST Appeals

CBIC has enabled Central Excise officers to adjudicate appeals related to excise and service tax cases that were filed before the implementation of GST. This decision aims to streamline the resolution of cases that were pending before the GST regime came into effect. By allowing excise officers to handle these cases, the government is ensuring continuity in the resolution process and preventing delays in legal proceedings. The move is expected to clear the backlog of cases and bring more efficiency to the tax administration system.
