Excise and Customs Rate Rationalisation expands standard CENVAT coverage and broadens service tax liability across new services. Finance Bill, 2002 revises excise, customs and service tax frameworks by rationalising ad-valorem excise rates toward a standard CENVAT rate, reallocating items between duty categories, tightening exemptions (notably in textiles and hand-processing), adjusting petrol and HSD duty composition, and reissuing Central Excise and CENVAT Rules. Customs duty peaks and specific tariffs are restructured with targeted increases and reductions, new criteria introduced for certain imports, and administrative powers expanded to clarify exemptions and set tariff values. Service tax is extended to multiple new services and corporate banking providers, with guidance and reporting obligations for administration.
