The
Commissionerate of Customs, Patna was initially created in March,
1972 vide Government of India’s Notification No. 95 dated 4.3.1972
with the sole purpose of preventing smuggling activities on the
entire Indo-Nepal Border and to maintain the trade activities between
India and Nepal and transit of goods from and to Nepal in terms
of Indo-Nepal Treaty of transit and Trade. The jurisdiction of then
Commissionerate was entire stretch of the Indo-Nepal border covering
the states of U.P., Bihar, West Bangal and Sikkim. The jurisdiction
of the present Commissionerate with its Headquarters at Patna, however
extends to:
- Whole of the state
of Bihar,
- Districts of Dinajpur
district and Jalpaiguri Sadar sub-division of jalpaiguri district
in the state of West Bengal and,
- Whole of State of
Sikkim.
The
jurisdiction of the Commissionerate has been divided into
several Divisions headed by Assistant Commissioners. Since
the work is mainly concentrated on Indo-Nepal border, the
Custom(Prev.) Divisions have been created at Motihari, Muzaffarpur,
Forbesganj and Patna, for controlling the normal trade and
transit of goods. The Assistant Commissioners have been
posted at LCS, at Raxaul and Jogbani.
In
Bihar two main LCS are functioning for the trade and transit
facilities on Indo-Nepal border i.e., Raxaul and Jogbani.
However, more than 70% of such work is being carried out
by LCS Raxaul alone.
There
are in all 9 LCS on Indo-Nepal border for controlling the
trade between India and Nepal. The Customs(Prev.) Divisions
have been further divided into 15 circles and 11 units.
