New central excise rules discussed Chandigarh, July 22 The members were of the view that liberalisation of the Central Excise rules is very conducive for the economic growth of the nation particularly when it came to having faith in the business community. It was also widely agreed to that liberalisation of these rules would also make the entrepreneur more conscious about the national interests. However, it was also pointed out in the meeting that although there are provisions for audit of excise duty by the cost accountants, it remained on paper alone. And moreover, since it was an optional requirement and not a mandatory one, it was always at the discretion of the Chief Commissioner. Members also voiced concern over the inadequate budget provisions in the Central Budget for making payment to cost accountants since the payment is directly made by the department. The committee was also of the view that the government should consider making cost audit mandatory particularly when the revenue collection was declining. |
