Service Tax - Conflict between CENVAT Credit Rules and POT Rules?


Salute or Guard of Honour

The photo of the CBEC Chairperson with hand raised in salute makes an anachronistic picture. Is she saluting someone, or is she receiving guard of honour? In either case, this gesture is out of place in a taxation department. Central Excise and Customs departments are not paramilitary forces. Why do they need uniform, why should they salute when they see a superior? The uniform, saluting etc seem like a hangover of British Raj. The moment a person wears uniform, he feels like bossing over citizens who are in mufti. These are out of place and out of time, when the tax departments are consciously trying to cultivate customer oriented approach towards tax payers. In my view, only customs officers who deal with passengers either in ports or airports need to wear uniform, so that the passengers can readily identify them as customs officers.
