Work was always full of tension and absorbing one.
West Bengal Revenue Service (Former Employee) - Directorate of Commercial Taxes, West Bengal - September 1, 2023
What is the best part of working at the company? I worked as a Member, Fast Track Revisional Authority to dispose disputes as regards to tax, penalty etc. of the dealers and settled the matters through passing a reasoned order with strict adherence to provisions of law. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? I had to head two units of Anti-evasion wings of the Directorate while posted at Siliguri as Sr. Joint Commissioner of Revenue, Bureau of Investigation, North Bengal, Head Quarters. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Worked in my known domain in comfortable working environment. What is a typical day like for you at the company? I had to pass sleepless nights when my team went for big raids to tax evading companies and I had to coordinate the entire work and communicate my higher ups on intervals.

Additional Commissioner of Revenue (Former Employee) - Directorate of Commercial Taxes, West Bengal - July 30, 2023
What is the best part of working at the company? I worked as Member, Fast Track Revisional Authority for about 7 months of my last lap of service. During the period, I had to adjudicate many disputes arisen out of Assessment/Appeal/Audit. Since joining this service, we were supposed to function as quasi-judicial authority; but by virtue of general expectation of service we were never case neutral, rather reasonably biased towards revenue. In my life time only at FTRA, first time worked as truely a quasi-judicial officer. As per my perception I enabled myself to pass my good orders. It is worthy to mention that such orders were subject to Hon'ble Calcutta High Court and West Bengal Taxation Tribunal. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? I worked as Functional Head of Bureau of Investigation, North Bengal wherein I had to supervise all anti-evasion activitities viz. movement of taxable goods, search and seizure of business accounts, godowns. During such raids, I had to communicate my officers and staff constantantly and pass on updates to my superior authority. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Very friendly. As I worked there for a long time, it became our comfort zone. What is a typical day like for you at the company? Nothing mentionworthy. I had to chase our target always. We were usedto that. However, work was not enough. We hadto make reports in given formats, upload to respective portals. We had to attend meetings with Finance Secretary and Commissioner, SGST periodically.

Salary is too low
Full Stack Developer (Former Employee) - Chinsurah, West Bengal, India - March 9, 2023
The only problem here is the salary is too low. Other than that very good work-life balance and the work environment is very friendly. You get support from the supervisor.

No job satisfaction
Dental Surgeon (Current Employee) - Sonamukhi, West Bengal - October 6, 2017
Management in administration break rules by themselves but expect others to abide by the rules.
No job satisfaction as there is dirty working environment with no modern facilities at all with no manpower assistance. People are on their feet to stab each other. Salary structure is very poor.
Pros
No perks at all apart from fixed salary
Cons
Duty hours are not very long

Poor job culture

Enjoyed much with govt. assigned job but paid lesser amount in compare to my such a skilled job in compare to private sector jobs.
English/Bengali Typing/Stenography, (Former Employee) - Kolkata, WB - May 28, 2015
I enjoyed with full job-satisfaction though the Govt. Salary was poor, Still I performed well in setting up different office machines like latest type Xerox Automatic machines Computer Controlled Attendance machine, after which the Senior Officers of Govt.thanked me of installing such modern science technology,
Due to close friendly relation with humour almost all the staff and officers loved me as their own family. But I was always duty bound while in administration, I never get worried when preparing Confidential Report of Staffs and Officers though sometimes it was like Open Personal Report with allowing them Grades,
