Saral paves the way for more taxpayer-friendly steps

The form which was declared in the budget by finance minister was only introduced after the last date of return was twice extended to October 31, 1998. The one-page Form No 2D termed for public as Saral is far from ending the trouble for the taxpayers, though.

Sustaining the biomass in the soil is also significant."
