FAQ :
The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) and the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) are facing significant staff shortages.
The CBDT is functioning with a 34% vacancy rate, and the CBIC is short of 39% of its sanctioned workforce.
The CBDT handles corporate tax, non-corporate tax, and securities transaction tax. The CBIC oversees GST, Customs, and Excise duties.
The government is fast-tracking hiring, notifying over 11,800 vacancies for the 2025 recruitment cycle, and coordinating with UPSC and SSC for recruitment.
Delays are due to factors such as litigation, pending Departmental Promotion Committees, and candidates shifting to other services after recruitment.
The CBIC has recruited over 30,000 officers since 2022 through direct recruitment and promotions.
