By TIOL News Service
NEW DELHI, MAY 07, 2020: ALTHOUGH the CBIC has not yet decided whether to celebrate GST Day on July 1 but the DGST has sought nominations of officers for giving away commendation certificates. Pending the formal decision, the Board has directed this Directorate that the work related to grant of Commendation Certificates shall be initiated and consolidated list of officers with the recommendations of the Selection Committee is sent to the Board by 15.06.20.
As per the protocol evolved Commendation Certificates are awarded to the selected officers in various grades at the all India Level, who, by their innovative ideas/continued devotion and commitment to duty, have contributed in promoting excellence in the fields of GST administration. The objective is to give due recognition to officers who may have contributed significantly in diverse areas such as trade facilitation, automation, enforcement, audit, infrastructure development, human resource development, personal management, secretarial work, legislation, policy making, legal, judicial, and training, which often remain unrecognized by way of formal awards. Facilitation of GST work in Covid-19 era may also be added. These areas are suggestive and not exhaustive.
For this purpose, the (Pr.) Chief Commissioners/ (Pr.) Director Generals have been asked to send maximum of three suitable nominations with recommendations. The officers, who consider themselves deserving for the commendation may apply to their Commissioners/controlling officers (in the enclosed proforma) who, after due scrutiny, shall forward their applications to the concerned (Pr.) Chief Commissioner/ (Pr.) Director General. In the description of significant contribution made, the role of individual must be clearly brought out as distinct from that of the organization or team that the officer was a part of. Details of instances/cases where the officer has played a prominent role should be mentioned separately indicating the exact role played by the officer.
