<h1>Finance Bill 2022: Amendments to Section 5 of Customs Act Enhance Officers' Powers and Delegation Criteria</h1> Clause 87 of the Finance Bill, 2022 proposes amendments to section 5 of the Customs Act, enhancing the powers of customs officers. The amendments introduce sub-sections (1A) and (1B), allowing the Board and the Principal or Commissioner of Customs to assign functions to officers via notification or order, designating them as proper officers for those functions. Sub-section (4) outlines criteria for assigning functions, including jurisdiction and type of goods or cases. Sub-section (5) permits the Board to authorize concurrent powers for multiple officers. These changes aim to streamline and specify the delegation of customs duties and responsibilities.
