This system is in the same Local Area Network as the ICES. The National Risk Management (NRM) system is in the IOENET and hence connected to the LRM. The Additional/Joint Commissioner in charge of SUB is designated as the System Administrator of LRM. A detailed user manual for LRM is provided to all the officers working in the LRM. The DC/AC and the nominated officers working in SIIB will be given user ids and passwords in the LRM by the Systems Administrator. The users must change their assigned passwords in LRM by immediately logging and also keep changing passwords at regular intervals. In addition to handling the Targeting and Intervention activities assigned to them, all LRM users should be vigilant about all such bills of entry which are getting facilitated and are being sent for clearance without any assessment or examination. Discrepancy if any found in respect of such bills should be immediately brought to the notice of the LRM for further action . 3.

It has been decided that DRI Delhi will enter the targets based on Alerts issued by DRI and these targets should not be entered again by the Local Risk Manager, to avoid duplication. SIIB section will analyze the intelligence gathered by officers and examine alerts received from various formations before deciding to insert any local target. A file shall be opened wherein justification for inserting a target will be given by the target proposer. The target approver with his remarks shall put up file to the Commissioner for approval, after which the target can be approved in System. All the officers must note that targets can hit accredited clients also. Hence due caution shall be exercised before insertion of the targets. If required target can be inserted in such a way that it will bypass the AEO importer. The Manual should be referred for further help. 5. Intervention in RMS: Where there is no specific intelligence or information but there are known/suspected trends in evasion or violation1 LRM users with the approval of the Commissioner can use the tool of Intervention to check some or all consignment of a particular category of imports in orde .....

RMS is designed so as to give the output on any bill of entry within a stipulated time limit, from the time of getting the bill from ICES. However, in the event of any problem with the LRM system due to which bills of entry may take more than the specified time, the Bills will be automatically processed by the ICES in the normal fashion without any RMS instructions. There will be no concurrent audit even for such bills of entry. In all such bills of entry officers must assess and examine as per normal ICES practice. The LRM systems administrator must immediately alert the NRM about systems related problems encountered by them, if any, for rectification. 9. All the officers should note that apart from the designated SIIB officers at LRM, the officers working in the Directorate General of Revenue Intelligence (DGRI) and the Risk Management Division (RMD) are empowered to insert targets and Interventions. The RMS also gives the facility to the officers of the RMD to insert Risk rules and update the systems intelligence in the NRM which will update on every LRM online. The Bi .....

CA interventions are purely local in nature and have to be inserted by the local Commissionerate (c) It will apply Corridor based interventions. Corridor based interventions are also purely local in nature and the Commissionerate has the sole responsibility for managing the corridor based interventions. Apart from the above, PCA module in the RMS also has a tool for selection Bills of strategic audit. 14. PCA Rules: PCA rules are national in character and will apply to some or all ICES locations where the RMS has been deployed. PCA rules will be managed by the Risk Management Division in consultation with the DG Audit /field formations and under the overall policy guidelines laid down by the Board. PCA rules can be inserted only by the RMD on the system. The Additional Commissioner /Joint Commissioner in charge of the PCA program will have to liaise with the RMD and provide feedback on the operation of existing PCA rules, and for incorporation of fresh rules the Commissionerate may deem necessary. 15. PCA interventions: The need for interventions and their design and applicability has already been discussed earlier while discussing the operation of intervent .....

In other terms, corridor based random give the AddI / JC I/c of audit a flexibility to specify random percentages of audit , depending on the path traversed by the BE in the RMS, during live processing. The possible permutations and combinations of the corridor traces have been hard coded into 32 different categories in the PCA module. The suggested percentage for each of the categories is given in Annexure I to this document. The AddI / Joint commissioner I/c of audit will periodically review these percentages and revise them if necessary. 17. Strategic Audit: A limited facility for conducting a desk based strategic audit is also available in the RMS PCA module. PCA rules apply only prospectively. In other words, rules apply only to those BEs whose EODs reach RMS after their insertion. They do not affect BEs which were received by the RMS before their insertion. The strategic audit is designed to overcome this limitation of the PCA rules. A strategic audit overcomes this limitation by allowing the user to insert a rule for the past period and pick out the BEs which meet criteria specified in the rule. The interface for .....
