As I am writing this message, our Country is celebrating “Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav” on completion of
75 years of India’s Independence and Customs Department is celebrating 60th year of Customs Act,
1962. Being an integral part of Government of India and Customs Department; the Customs
(Preventive) Zone, Delhi is organizing various programs to celebrate the completion of 75 years of
India’s Independence and 60 years of Customs Act, 1962. Customs (Preventive) Zone, Delhi is also
committed towards its responsibility of collection of Indirect Taxes by monitoring the
anti-smuggling work and commercial fraud cases along with prevention of illegal import and export
of goods.
The need for a digital transformation in government services and especially in taxation, is well
appreciated and understood. This was also emphasized by the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India, Shri
Narendra Modi in the first Rajaswa Gyan Sangam, held in 2016, where he outlined the ‘RAPID’ charter
for tax administrators, hinging on five critical elements —Revenue, Accountability, Probity,
Information and Digitization.
Keeping on the words of our Hon’ble Prime Minister and to take a step forward in Digitization, this
website aims in providing real time information to the trade, industry and general public on
functioning of Customs (Preventive) Zone, Delhi. Customs (Preventive) Zone, Delhi is committed to

also been made through this website to provide all relevant information on Customs and other
related subjects in easily accessible manner on a single platform.
I take the opportunity to convey my best wishes to my colleagues and taxpayers who will be
