quality of Departmental representation.

Board, it is proposed to shift the headquarters of the Directorate General of

create any administrative problems.

to strengthen the manpower of the Directorate. It is also proposed to bring

is proposed to continue with this arrangement.

Payers Units: There are five Large Tax Payer Units (4 are already
functional at Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai andBangalore, while the 5th one
is likely to start operation soon). Three of these five
(Chennai, Bangalore and Kolkata) are headed by the Chief
Commissioners of Central Excise & Customs. Remaining two LTUs at Delhi
& Mumbai are headed by the Chief Commissioners of Income Tax. Each of
the five LTUs has one Commissioner of Central Excise posted. There is no
