It is good to see some changes in the policy. From the policy, it appears that there will be one year tenure at Cus.(Prev.). The same does not appears to be good considering the work of investigation which requires lots of time to understand the case and to complete it . In a 1 yr. of span, no body bothered to book the case, investigate it and finalize it and leave it to others and last will suffer. For the person involved in investigations, tenure should be 2yrs. for other 1 yrs. . Further, there is nothing above the persons who prematurially transferred to their choice of place and get the sensitive posting straight away. Like the deputation has been treated as sensitive, persons on tranferring on choice should be posted to non sensitive for atlease 2 yrs..Further local rotation from excise to excise on completion of 4 yrs in the commissionerate will give only 1 yr. at division office, it is require to be atleast 2 years. Moreover, for local rotation there should not Jaipur-I or Jaipur-II rather it should be Customs & Excise so that the officers of Jaipur-II commissionerate posted at Jaipur should be transferred to division office in rotation as there is not enough sensitive post for II commissionerate.
In last all the policies are good if implemented with good will which is being done to good extent for last some years.This ratio is required to be increased if office bearer left their interest aside.
