Ghaziabad :24/10/25: Union Minister of Finance and Corporate Affairs, Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman, today inaugurated the newly-constructed Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST) Bhawan, located on Rani Jhansi Marg (Hapur Chungi), Ghaziabad, in the presence of senior officers of the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC), trade representatives, and other dignitaries.

In her address, the Union Finance Minister lauded the efforts of CBIC and its field formations in strengthening India’s tax administration and advancing a transparent, citizen-centric governance framework. Smt. Sitharaman emphasised on technology-driven compliance with simplified procedures, enhanced transparency, and voluntary participation among taxpayers.

The Union Finance Minister stated that timely disciplinary action shows that the institution holds its own officers to high standards of professionalism and integrity, and added:

  • Disciplinary proceedings against the officials at different levels in the CGST field formations should be concluded expeditiously in a time-bound manner within prescribed timelines given by DoPT and CVC.
  • Swift conclusion of disciplinary proceedings reinforces accountability within the organisation.

Smt. Sitharaman said that these proceedings send a clear message that misconduct, dereliction of duty, or unethical behaviour will not be tolerated.

Prolonged proceedings unfairly affect the morale and reputation of the officers involved – particularly the innocent. For those wrongfully accused, early closure brings relief and restoration of dignity, she added.

M Smt. Sitharaman said that the ultimate goal of reforms is to make life easier for honest taxpayers and make them feel comfortable about every change being made in the existing statutory framework.  She described the new CGST Bhawan, Ghaziabad, as a symbol of modern India’s commitment to good governance — where infrastructure meets innovation and efficiency aligns with empathy. Earlier, in his welcome address, Shri Sanjay Kumar Agarwal, Chairman, CBIC, highlighted the department’s unwavering focus on efficient taxpayer services, digital transformation, and sustainable infrastructure

The event concluded with a Vote of Thanks by Shri Sanjay Mangal, Chief Commissioner, CGST Meerut Zone.
