Indian Customs & GST – Gatekeeper Or Facilitator V2.0

In May 2021 I had written an article 'Indian Customs – Gate Keeper or facilitator¹', doing realty check on compliance to Citizen Charter (www.cbic.gov.in) of the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs² (CBIC) by the officers of the CBIC while discharging their duties.

In the last one year much water has flown under the bridge. We have learned to live along with Corona, economy is bouncing back, Mr. Narender Modi, the Indian Prime Minister is firmly in saddle subtly pushing his agenda, including of ease of doing business, make in India, self-reliant India, and Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Priyaas (carry everyone, growth for all, earn trust of everyone and efforts of everyone).; and Ms. Nirmala Sitharaman, the Finance Minster of India is working towards delivering 'non-adversarial tax administration'. And we have a new team of seasoned administrators in the CBIC which is known for honesty, integrity, uprightness and delivering results.
