Superintendent of Central Excise, Customs and Service Tax in Rourkela Commissionerate headquarters Gobind Chandra Nath has been recommended for getting the commendation certificate on all India basis.
As per the recommendations of the Commissioner Satyendra Kumar Singh, the high power committee of Central Board of Excise and Customs, New Delhi, has decided to give this national recognition in favour of Nath. He is the only officer of Odisha to get this prestigious national award for excellence.
With his versatility and contributions in the field of ACES system, man- management, coordinating abilities with trade and stakeholders, different Government agencies of the Commissionerate, Rourkela Commissionerate, which was languishing in bottom three of the country, became the top three performers in the country. Nath has displayed his dynamism in the areas of infrastructure, return scrutiny in ACES, audit and it is only for his efforts the Mahanandi Coalfields limited, Sambalpur, paid voluntarily Rs 190 crore to the national exchequer. Coming to infrastructure, he has coordinated with the State Government and SAIl authorities for acquisition of seven acres of land from M/s SAIl, Rourkela. He has also been instrumental in explaining the legal positions to the gold traders on excise levy, attending regular seminars and workshops on Goods and Service Tax(GST), imparting training on GST to both Central and State officials and reducing pendency of all outstanding works of the Commissionerate.
Taking into account the role played by Nath, he has been selected as the only officer of the State and Rourkela in particular, along with 32 officers of the country in different grades to get the most coveted award.
According to sources, the award will be presented to the selected officers on February 23 at New Delhi, while the country will observe the Central Excise Day 2017.
