Shri G. Sreenivasa Rao, IRS,
Commissioner, Hyderabad Audit-I Commissionerate.
As Commissioner of Hyderabad-I Audit Commissionerate, I feel privileged in presenting the official website of this Commissionerate to the members of trade, industry and general public. The website has been designed keeping in mind all the information that one needs to know about Hyderabad Audit-I Commissionerate at one place. Every attempt will be made to keep the website updated and user friendly.
Organizational Details:
The Commissionerate was formed on 1.07.2017 coinciding the formation with the introduction of one of the largest Indirect tax reform undertaken by the Union Government viz. Goods and Services Tax (GST). In an era of self assessment, the compliance verification mechanism hinges on the three pillars of Enforcement, Scrutiny and Audit. While there are dedicated field formations of CBIC for the first two, the third aspect is being taken care of by Audit Commissionerates. Tax Audit aims at detecting non-compliance of tax laws and promoting voluntary compliance. Audit also guides and educates tax payers on the application of tax laws and improvement in record keeping to enhance overall compliance level. We are one of the 48 Audit Commissionerates existing all over India with the sole purpose of undertaking compliance verification. This Commissionerate serves the compliance verification needs of the Executive Commissionerates of Hyderabad and Rangareddy GST Commissionerates.
Apart from undertaking verification of units allotted to various Audit groups, this Commissionerate has also strived hard to achieve the important policy objectives of the Central government viz. Readiness for GST, emphasis on Infrastructure as well as Swachh Bharat initiative. Adequate training had been imparted to the officers on GST by conducting training sessions. I take pride in mentioning that, this Commissionerate as part of Swachhta Action Plan for the year 2019-20 has renovated two Government Primary Schools in the Tribal areas of the Suryapet District of Telangana. The Challenge in reaching out to the remote and utmost needy areas is of immense satisfaction to us.
With all these efforts being undertaken by this Commissionerate in such a short span, I sincerely hope that continuous steps will be undertaken in meeting the performance standards in a holistic and sustainable manner. I also urge the officers of this Commissionerate to frequently visit the website as increasingly heavy reliance will be placed on the website in the coming months for dissemination of official communications. If any suggestion is to be made, the same may be sent to me at cgst.hydaudit1@gov.in.
