The government has appointed senior bureaucrat Vivek Johri as the Chairman of the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC).

Johri, a 1985-batch Indian Revenue Service (Customs and Indirect Taxes) officer, is currently working as a member of the board. His appointment was approved by the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet. He was appointed as the tenure of former chairman M Ajit Kumar ends in the month of November 2021.

The change comes as budget preparations gather pace and a key task before the new chairman would be to undertake the government’s promised customs duty rejig aimed at boosting local manufacturing activities. The indirect tax administration is also discussing a GST slab revision meant to boost revenue collections.
