Excise rate convergence simplifies duty structure and introduces new levies on tobacco and branded garments, affecting CENVAT and exemptions. The budget consolidates multiple special excise rates into a single ad valorem rate, imposes a new National Calamity Contingent Duty on specified tobacco and related products, extends excise to branded readymade garments while withdrawing SSI exemptions for certain commodities, and preserves transitional CENVAT credit subject to the CENVAT Rules. Service tax coverage is expanded to include new categories, coupled with introduction of a self-assessment scheme and limits on officer levels for original orders. Customs changes include abolition of surcharge, adjustment of peak rates and introduction of CVD on MRP for packaged goods. Procedural reforms modify interest accrual, voluntary payment of short levies, and time-limits for adjudication and appeals.
