Order

(The Maharashtra Purchase Tax on Sugarcane Act, 1962 read with Section 17 of the Bombay General Clauses Act, 1904)

No: Sr.DC(A&R)/TAP/67/Adm-3/ Mumbai, Date: 17.07.07

In view of the introduction of the Maharashtra Value Added Tax Act, 2002 [MVAT Act] with effect from the 1^st April 2005 in the State of Maharashtra and the repeal of the earlier laws specified in the MVAT Act, the organizational set-up of the Sales Tax Department is being restructured. The restructuring will go on throughout the transition period till the work related to the Bombay Sales Tax Act, 1959 and the earlier laws is substantially over and may in the exigencies of the circumstances, continue for some time thereafter. The exercise of restructuring involves inter-alia, abolition, merger and consolidation of posts, creation of new posts, creation of new administrative units including divisions and zones, designating the new posts and re-designating the old posts.

In view of such considerations, nine different office orders have been issued so far. The dates and numbers of these orders are given at the top of this order. For the purpose of accessibility and bringing these orders to the notice of the departmental authorities as well as the trading community, the texts of these orders are hosted on the site http://vat.maharashtra.gov.in. These orders provide for the merger of the posts, creation of posts, re-designations and designations of the posts etc. The Sales Tax authorities administer several different tax Acts. The present order is in respect of the Maharashtra Purchase Tax on Sugarcane Act, 1962 and the cases in so far as periods ending on or before the 31^st March 2005 are concerned. It has now become necessary to reallocate amongst the officers the cases under the aforesaid Act as well as the proceedings including pending proceedings under the said Act in view of the changes brought about by the aforesaid orders.

I, Sanjay Bhatia, Commissioner of Purchase Tax [Sugarcane], Maharashtra State, in exercise of the powers granted to me by the Maharashtra Purchase Tax on Sugarcane Act, 1962, read with Section 17 of the Bombay General Clauses Act, 1904, do accordingly in respect of periods on or before 31^st March 2005 assign by transfer cases under the said Act and transfer proceedings including pending proceedings under the said Act __

--- from the officers appointed on different posts to whom the cases and proceedings including pending proceedings stood allotted as per their posts on the 31^st March 2007,

--- to the officers with whose post their posts stand merged, or to the corresponding officers holding the newly created posts, as the case may be, whether or not the posts are temporary.

--- in so far as the offices of both the officers from whom the cases or proceedings are to be transferred and the officers to whom the cases or proceedings are to be transferred are situated in the same district as constituted under section 4 of the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, 1960 or, as the case may be, in Greater Mumbai.

The reference in this order to restructuring, abolition, merger and consolidation of posts, creation of posts, divisions and zones, designation and re-designation of posts and corresponding officer holding the newly created posts are to be read in the context of the office orders specified at the top of this order. It is needless to add that this order takes effect from the respective dates from which the said office order takes effect.
