..... as under Customs, Central Excise and Service Tax such as revenue, audit, anti-evasion, anti-smuggling, adjudication, legal, arrears recovery etc. were grouped in six parts, and a set of Monthly Performance Reports (MPRs) was prescribed in place of erstwhile Monthly Technical Reports (MTRs) with effect from 1st December, 2014.

ADGs at the Hqrs. and Zones of DGRI and DGCEI would also be required to upload the duly filled-in MPRs of Part-2 relating to Anti-smuggling and Anti-evasion in respect of their jurisdiction, in a manner similar to the Commissionerates. 4. Responsibility to validate the data: 4.1 Presently, the MPRs, other than those contained in Part-1 (i.e. revenue related MPRs), are prepared by the Commissionerates and sent to the Zonal CCs who after compilation send them to the respective FOs. Thus, the Commissionerate data gets validated at the Zonal Chief Commissionerate level. Accordingly, in the web-based utility, provision of validation of data has been provided. After the MPRs would be uploaded/submitted by the Commissionerate, such MPRs would be ready for validation by the jurisdictional Zonal CCs. Only after the validation by the Zonal CC, the MPRs would become part of the MIS database on the basis of which various reports would be generated automatically. Thus, the responsibility for accuracy of the MPRs would continue to remain at the Zonal CC level. 4.2 In case of DGRI/DGCEI, .....

In addition, under the DGRI and DGCEI, ADGs posted in the Zones as well as at the Hqrs. have been authorized to insert the data in the MPR formats pertaining to DGRI and DGCEI respectively. It may be noted here that DGRI and DGCEI are also Functional Owners for the MPRs under Part-II. 7. Error correction mechanism (being presently developed and will be implemented shortly) 7.1 Data inserted into an MPR format by a user can be corrected only by the user itself and no one else. Thus, data inserted by the Commissionerate can be corrected by the said Commissionerate and cannot be corrected even by the jurisdictional Chief Commissionerate. Therefore, if any error is detected by any user other than the one which inserted the data, such error will have to be pointed out to the user which inserted the data to take necessary corrective action. 7.2 Once an MPR format i .....
