THE BEGINNING

The present Nashik Commissionerate started off as a Division situated at Baccha Manor House, N D Patel Road, Nashik having jurisdiction over the entire Nashik District and was part of the erstwhile Pune Commissionerate since 1950. In 1983, due to industrialization, a separate Commissionerate at Aurangabad was formed and Nashik Division came under its jurisdiction. Nashik was further allocated another Division in June, 1989 and then a third Division was formed in the year 1999. A fourth Division was further setup in the year 2002. On 1st November, 2002 due to the tremendous growth in the Revenue from Petroleum and Automobile sectors, Nashik finally got its due in the form of a Commissionerate.

The Jurisdiction of Nashik Commissionerate then covered the districts of Nashik, Jalgaon, Dhule, Nandurbar and part of Ahmednagar District namely Sangamner Taluka. During the reorganization in the year 2014, the setup was further expanded by forming two Commissionerates Nashik - I and Nashik II and attaching the entire district of Ahmednagar. All the while the jurisdiction of Nashik Commissionerates covered the enforcement of Central Excise Act, 1944, Finance Act, 1994, Customs Act 1962 and various other Allied Acts.

After the passage of the 122nd Constitutional Amendment Act and the Central Goods and Services Act, 2017 read with Trade Notice No. 03/2017 dated 22.06.2017, the Nashik-I and Nashik-II Commissionerate was restructured into GST and Central Excise Commissionerate Nashik
