No. 31/2003-Customs dated 7.04.03, the administrative control over EOUs,
(including EHTP and STP) in the port cities, falling within the territorial
jurisdiction of Commissioner of Customs, is with the concerned Commissioners of
Customs. At other places, administrative control is with the jurisdictional
Commissioner of Central Excise. The only exception is Bangalore Customs.
2. In view of implementation of
Automation of Central Excise and Service Tax (ACES) the issue of administrative
control over EOUs/EHTP/STP, presently under Customs formations, was discussed
by the Board on 16.4.10.
3. It has been decided by the
Board in the meeting held on 16.4.10 that the jurisdiction over the
EOU/EHTP/STP even in the port cities should be with the Central Excise
formations. This will facilitate uniform and better administration/control of
such EOUs, and, also facilitate the shift to GST regime in future. It has been
decided that the shift in the process of administration, including handing over
of all the records etc. of EOUs from Customs formations to the respective
Central Excise formations can be effected latest by 31st July 2010.
4. The above decision of Board
may please be circulated to all the field formations and Trade for necessary
compliance.
