This was announced by the Finance Minister ShriPranab Mukherjee while presenting the Union Budget 2012-13 in LokSabha today. These include a common simplified registration form and a common return for Central Excise and Service Tax, to be named EST-1. This common return will comprise only one page, which will be a significant reduction from the 15 pages of the two returns at present.
