Central Excise officer rank alignment updated: substituted officer and rank tables now govern powers and commencement follows notification. Amendment substitutes officer-and-rank tables in earlier Central Excise notifications, listing directorate-wise cadres (Director General, Principal Director General, Additional Director General, Additional Director, Joint Director, Deputy/Assistant Director, Superintendent, Inspector) and mapping them to corresponding Central Excise ranks; it replaces the Table in the 2008 notification similarly and prescribes commencement of these substitutions as specified in the notification.
