Trained Central Excise Officers Now Required for EOUs to Boost Export Performance and Prevent Delays and Harassment.

The circular addresses issues faced by 100% Export Oriented Units (EOUs) due to the lack of knowledgeable Central Excise Officers, which negatively impacts export performance. To remedy this, it mandates that only officers trained in EOU-specific Central Excise procedures be posted to these units. It emphasizes the need for training through NACEN and Export Promotion Councils and calls for regular meetings led by senior officers to ensure compliance and understanding of relevant laws. Officers in charge of EOUs are to be held accountable for unnecessary delays and harassment, with measures to address these issues promptly.
