The CBEC Chairperson Vanaja N Sarna, in a communication addressing the CBEC higher officials, said that

e-SANCHIT shall be made mandatory from 15th March 2018.

“The Board has issued instructions to all the Chief Commissioners to launch e-SANCHIT in all the EDI locations. At present e-SANCHIT is only on voluntary basis. However, lack of participation from the stakeholders is a matter of concern. In this regard Member (Customs) has issued a letter dated 23rd February 2018, which may be gone through. An action was taken and progress made by your zone must be monitored closely,” Sarna said.
