The Department has introduced a new transfer policy aimed at increasing generated revenues and improving operational efficiency.
The policy aims to reward high-performing employees by assigning them to locations with greater revenue potential. Under the proposed policy, employees who consistently exceed revenue targets will be transferred to districts with greater revenue-generating opportunities.
The official said, “For the financial year 2024-25, the revenue target for the excise department is around Rs 17,000 crore, which is increased by around 10-15% every year. There is always a requirement for efficient officials and the new policy aims to address this problem.”
