NEW DELHI, SEPT 25, 2017: IN her latest internal weekly letter the CBEC Chairperson has stated that the Board is about to issue notifications relating to cross-empowerment of State and Central Tax Officers under CGST and SGST Acts. And the main theme of these notifications would be along the line of the Member(GST) letter written earlier for the field formations.

She has also appreciated the Bangalore GST Zone for its innovative idea of introducing GST Jurisdiction Finder App. This App provides a utility, leveraging the Google map function, to inform the tax payers the exact route to their Commissionerate office. This App also provides bus route numbers, metro connections, etc. to the taxpayer to conveniently reach his jurisdictional Central Tax Office. This website has been developed by the officers of the zone and NIC.

She has also congratulated her colleague Dr Kavita Bhatnagar, Commissioner of Customs, Delhi on winning the Trade Facilitation Innovation Award at the Asia Pacific Trade Facilitation Forum 2017 in Indoneisa.
