jobs are not powerfull...its the ppl who make posts powerfull.
ETO is a good post but has no comparison with DDO-R(now AC)
the 1988 batch ETOs are still in BS-18 whereas ACs of the same batch are secretaries. even SOs of that batch are secretaries ( including the present secretary Excise).
exise has many wings and job specifications very from one to the other.
in property tax they are simlply assessing authority
in Motor Registration wing they r Motor rgistring authority
in Excise (police) wing they are as good as DSPs.
there are some other wings as well including entertainment wing, infrastructure cess , hotel tax , professional tax( in all these wings revenue collection is the main funcaiton.
