Perception of Trade of CBEC:


Free Home Delivery of Food - No Service Tax - Deputy Commissioner Withdraws Clarification

Dear Sir,

Apparently looking to the trail, It seems that the DC/Adl C had issued clarification in good faith, but further clarification form higher authority would have been "Hierarchical ego" problem. why CBEC to clarify the matter of DC? rather, shortcut would be withdrawal by DC himself.

this is nothing but general Phenomenon.

Why they are not so bold to accept the initiative taken by DC to clarify something? why they are not close it down by counter clarification?

it is fact that there no are such officers who tries to clarify any quetions from the industry? I don't remember any trade notice or clarification comming from any authorities now a days. The trade notice, circular section of any jurisdictional tax sites shows only old very old trade notices only.

looking to such compulling of withdrawing the circular, which officer will even try to clarify any matter further more? can we expect any clarification anymore?

Once on my mistake my boss commented that "don't mind, the person who works makes error, but not who does not work"

There should have been Persuasive counter clarification so that no other officers think that let CBEC clarify in each and every trivinal matters also.

Regards.
