Punjab cabinet approves restructuring plans of 4 departments

Chandigarh, Mar 1 (UNI) The Punjab Cabinet on Monday approved the restructuring plans of Excise & Taxation, Town & Country Planning, Medical Education & Research and Rural Development and Panchayat departments to bring far more efficiency and streamline the functioning of these departments.
With an objective to achieve more revenue collections, the Cabinet approved creation of 110 new posts in the Taxation Commissionerate, and 59 new posts in Excise Commissionerate of the Excise and Taxation department.
Notably, the implementation of GST has brought services under the ambit of department, and added a new feature of Audit, which involves examination of records, returns and other documents maintained by GST registered person. It also ensures correctness of turnover declared, taxes paid, refund claimed, input tax credit availed and assesses other compliances under GST Act, which are to be checked by an authorized expert.
Resultantly, the number of dealers registered has also increased from 2.50 lakh to 3.55 lakh, thus increasing the work load and therefore a stronger personnel base is required to be set up in Taxation Commissionerate to carry out these additional functions effectively.
Likewise, excise revenue and administration is a significant part of the Excise and Taxation Department. The Excise revenue collections in the State has increased from Rs 435.79 crore in the year 1990-91 to Rs 5794 Crores in the year 2020-21 (Projected figures). It is likely to go up to Rs 7000 crore in the year 2021-22.
In the recent years, an unprecedented increase in the Excise related activities have been observed in the State. The formulation of Excise Policy and its implementation is a time consuming and full time exercise.
Pertinently, Excise and Taxation department was bifurcated into the two Commissionerates - Taxation commissionerate and Excise commissionerate on October 8, 2018. However, the staff and officers deployed on the Excise side in the Excise Commissionerate is skeletal. After bifurcation of the Excise and Taxation department into the Excise Commissionerate and the Taxation Commissionerate, the roles and responsibilities of the officers have increased. Greater concentration efforts and dedication on their parts is required to achieve more revenue.
