FAQ :

The circular provides comprehensive guidelines on the posting of officers and staff at Customs areas and the collection of Cost Recovery Charges, aiming to clarify existing rules and ensure uniformity.

The guidelines apply to all Customs areas such as Seaports, Airports, Air Cargo Complexes, Courier Terminals, Diamond Plazas, Inland Container Depots (ICDs), and Container Freight Stations (CFSs) notified after 26.06.2002.

Cost Recovery Charges are payable at a uniform rate of 1.85 times the monthly average cost of the post plus other allowances, including notional house rent allowance if government accommodation is provided.

Facilities are eligible for exemption if they meet specific performance criteria related to cargo volume/value or documents/passengers handled over a certain period, and if the cost recovery posts have the Department of Expenditure's permission for continuation.

If a facility fails to meet the criteria after exemption, a grace period of one year is given. If the criteria are still not met after this grace period, the exemption will be withdrawn.

Eligible facilities can apply for exemption to the jurisdictional Principal Commissioner or Commissioner of Customs, who will then forward the proposal for regularization of posts to DGHRD.
