CBIC has done ‘exemplary’ work in both Customs and GST during the pandemic, he said in a PIB release on Friday.

“The revenue realised at the start of (current) financial year April 2022 – Rs 1,67,540 – a milestone to start with,” he said.

CBIC Chairman Vivek Johri highlighted the performance of the agency in 2021-22 which include revenue collection, use of data analytics, measures taken to curb fake invoices, detect smuggling of narcotics at different ports among others.

The conference discussed various subjects including compliance management strategy, performance management system, litigation management, the release said.

The meet also provided an opportunity for the directorates present to showcase some of the ’best practices’ and innovative solutions to local issues for imparting greater efficiency, the release added.
