Directorate of Excise, Govt of West Bengal : Excise Program for Effective Revenue (xPERT)

Since ages, the operations of the Excise Directorate, relating to
manufacture, supply, storage and distribution of liquor, collection of duties
and maintenance of records have been carried out manually by maintaining a large
number of paper records at the district offices, liquor factories, warehouses,
traders and retailers. This severely affects the generation of accurate MIS
reports for decision-making with progressively increasing volumes. Thus, a
web-based portal solution was developed to join the networks of the Directorate
along with the other stakeholders such as district offices, distilleries,
factories, warehouses and retail outlets for effective regulation and revenue
administration. xPERT is built on Microsoft technologies using ASP.NET and MS
SQL Server 2005. The application is hosted in the NIC domain, the URL being
http://wbdemo3.nic.in/index.htm. All stakeholders can access xPERT from their
client machines. The system facilitates online tracking of status of different
processes such as grant of licenses, issuance of permits and passes, a single
window source of information related to import, processing, production,
distribution, retail and consumption of excisable commodities.
