Computerisation of CE returns-target data extended to April 2000 - Central Excise - 507/03/2000

Circular No. 507/03/2000-CX dt. the 10th January, 2000 Computerisation of CE Returns effective from April 2000 Subject: Central Excise Computerisation -Time schedule for discontinuing manual revenue reports Regarding- Sir, I am directed to draw your attention to the Board's Circular No. 468/34/99-CX, dated 5th July, 1999 on the above subject and to say that the progress in Central Excise Computerisation has been further reviewed by the Board. While the quality level of RT -12 has increased from 20.61% in July 1999 to 50.09% in November, 1999, it is still short of the targeted level of 90%, which is required for replacing the manual returns by electronic data. Under the circumstances, it is felt that it would be more convenient to switch over to the new method of reporting only from April 2000. Accordingly, the Board has decided to revise the target date of new reporting from January, 2000 to April 2000. 2. All the Central Excise Commissionerates are advised to take all the necessary steps needed for adhering to the revised time schedule by giving adequate priority in the matter of capturing RT -12 data of all asses sees in the computer with the required degree of timeliness and completeness. 3. The field formations may suitably be informed. (Note:- see 1. Cir. No. 595/32/2001-CX, dt. 5/11/2001)
