Appointment of Commissioners of Customs redefines territorial jurisdiction and assigns commissioners to specified excise and customs areas. Exercising powers under the Customs Act, the Central Government appoints the officers listed in the table to be Commissioners of Customs for areas falling within the jurisdiction of the corresponding Commissioners of Central Excise or Commissioners of Customs, superseding the earlier notification and thereby reallocating territorial jurisdiction and administrative control among Chief Commissioners and named Customs and Central Excise Commissionerates.
