Separate directorates for revenue, Intel & enforcement

The West Bengal State Government has recently decided to establish a separate directorate for revenue, intelligence,and enforcement which will function under the umbrella of the state Financial Department. The newly established department will be headed by an IAS Officer and it will have functions more or less like that of the Enforcement Directorate (ED). It is believed that the proposed directorate will have its own designated court under it which will deal cases related to evasion of tax or financial frauds. The directorate is being setup to take strict actions against evasion of taxes and money laundering.
