KARACHI: Collector, Customs Collectorate of Adjudication-II, Chaudhary Javed has said that the work distribution of his collectorate should be revisited so that workload be equally distributed.
During an exclusive interview with Customs Today, the collector said that adjudication collectorate was yet working on the same pattern as it was doing in 2012. “The collectorates was formed in 2012, replacing the PACCS into the Appraisement East, West and Export. However, the adjudication remained the same,” he said.
“I have written to the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) with a request to amend the respective SRO so that the adjudication work should be properly distributed among the officials,” the collector added.
“The hearings of high profile cases are underway and it is expected that the Order-in-Original ONO would soon be issued and the recovery process would be initiated against the firms which evaded/short paid the taxes/duties,” he went to say.
Chaudhary Javed said he was also forwarding shortcomings and negligence of the MCC Appraisement East and West, if any, to the collectorates concerned so that revenue leakages be plugged in future.
“I am also guiding the detecting agencies and the investigators on what aspects they have to cover to further take on the revenue leakages by the importers,” he added.
