CBI arrested service tax official

This is not a stray news but a regular feature in the newspapers also.

Not every body goes to CBI but the number of such cases going up each year. last year alone approx. 100 cases were reported for tax officials. The could be a "slice" and in fact is a "slice" of the BIG Cake.

The more cumber-sum the processes more scope for such news.Many things could be made automatic but are made discretionary for example rebate on export, refund of cenvat for service and goods exporters - why not some thing like "all industry rate of duty drawback.

Confusion on "input service definition" is another area besides many other provisions which are not "ease of doing business".

The in house "vigilance" is failing in its KRA and may be "vigi" some where else. Mostly busy in giving clearances for departmental proceedings for transfer, promotion, deputation etc.
