CBIC actively implements Special Campaign 6 for institutionalising Swachhata and administrative efficiency

The Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) is actively executing the implementation phase of Special Campaign 6.0. Running from October 2^nd to 31^st October, 2026, the nationwide initiative is dedicated to institutionalizing cleanliness, drastically reducing administrative backlogs, managing office space efficiently, and proper disposal of electronic waste in alignment with the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) E-Waste Management Rules.

As the campaign has come to almost an end, field formations and zones operating under the CBIC have registered significant milestones across 449 offices:

• Record Management & File Review: A thorough examination of 22,784 physical files was completed, leading to the successful weeding out of 17,997 files in adherence to established protocols. Additionally, 622 e-files underwent review, resulting in the formal closure of 204 digital files.
• Cleanliness and Sanitation Drives: Comprehensive cleanliness operations were organized across 545 specific locations in and around workspaces (encompassing 424 sites inside office premises and 121 external locations). Out of these, 57 sites successfully integrated advanced mechanized cleaning methodologies.
• Scrap Liquidation & E-Waste Disposal: A massive volume totaling 21,015 kg scrap materials was cleared out. This comprised 3,174 kg e-waste, 16,817 kg general waste, and 1,024 kg non-office scrap.
• Space Optimization & Revenue Generation: Through the systematic clearance of obsolete articles and scrap, an expansive area of 24,222 square feet of office space was successfully reclaimed for productive institutional utilization. Furthermore, the disposal of unserviceable and redundant goods yielded a revenue of Rs. 65,663/-.

Field formations across the nation continue to put forth concerted efforts to fulfill the targeted objectives and strictly abide by the scheduled milestones formulated during the preparatory phase of Special Campaign 6.0.
