<h1>Revised Powers for Central Excise Officers: New Monetary Limits for Adjudicating Service Tax Cases Under Finance Act, 1994 Amendments.</h1> The circular outlines the revised powers of Central Excise Officers in adjudicating service tax cases following amendments to the Finance Act, 1994. It specifies that any Central Excise Officer can issue demand notices and adjudicate cases, with monetary limits set for different officer ranks: up to Rs. 5 lakhs for Assistant/Deputy Commissioners, Rs. 5-20 lakhs for Joint Commissioners, Rs. 20-50 lakhs for Additional Commissioners, and no limit for Commissioners. The guidelines apply regardless of fraud or evasion involvement. Cases remanded by appellate authorities follow specific adjudication instructions. The circular supersedes the previous 2004 directive.
