The system of collection and transfer of light dues always remains disputed with shipping agents and other stakeholders on the grounds of applicability and transparency that's why it is important to make rules and regulations clear and rationalized to avoid Mis-interpretions. I also believe that DGLL must establish its own cess collection and management wing rather than relying on customs department.This will increase transparency and stop deceit. Regards

Aids to Navigation Cess: Every ship arriving at or departing from any port in India will have to pay cess at rates notified by the Central government. Currently, the Central government, as per the provisions of the Lighthouse Act, levies light dues on all the foreign going ships arriving at or departing from any port in India

Marine navigation is most important of our sea protection. So it will purely digitalized and controlled by a separate department. Ut activities are more secretly painted by the government using satellite systems
