New Delhi April 12 The Union Cabinet on Thursday gave its nod for creation of 4,647 additional posts in the Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) to strengthen its audit wing and also to beef up the service tax machinery.

Official sources said that about 1,206 of the 4,647 additional posts have been identified for service tax. This would be the first set of staff that would be put in place specifically for service tax administration.

With service tax emerging as an important tax in the recent years, the Government is keen to strengthen the administrative apparatus.

About 1,860 persons would be earmarked to the audit wing, especially for central excise and service tax.
