Selection Process for CBIC Members Deferred

The selection process for filling three vacant Member-level positions in the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) has been postponed, with the Committee of Secretaries (CoS) now scheduled to meet on January 20. These posts have remained vacant for some time, impacting decision-making at the apex level of indirect tax administration.

CBIC plays a critical role in formulating and implementing policies related to GST, customs, and excise duties. Delays in filling senior positions can affect policy execution, dispute resolution, and administrative oversight. The upcoming meeting of the CoS is expected to finalize recommendations for these key appointments.
