Petrol pumps in Rajasthan to shut operations for 24 hours over increased VAT rate

Jaipur: Petrol and diesel pumps across Rajasthan will keep their operations shut for 24 hours, starting 23 October to protest against the increased rate of Value Added Taxes (VAT), officials said on Tuesday. Sunit Bagai, president of the Rajasthan Petrol Diesel Association (RPDA) said fuel pumps located in the border areas are on the verge of a shutdown due to increased VAT rate.

Demand is continuously decreasing. “We have apprised the state government about losses incurred by the fuel pump stations,” said Bagai. The shutdown has been called against increased VAT rate, he said, adding the RPDA has also demanded scrapping of road cess. Bagai said if prices of petrol and diesel are compared with neighbouring states, it was Rs 5-9 higher in Rajasthan. Terming it a corrective measure, the Congress government in July had reversed the previous government’s decision to reduce the VAT on petrol and diesel by 4 percent. During the previous government, VAT on petrol was 30 percent, which was brought down to 26 percent while VAT on diesel was reduced from 22 percent to 18 percent. In the general budget, the Centre had announced Rs 1 per litre in excise duty and Rs 1 as road cess. Following the hike, the state government through a notification on July 6 increased VAT rate on petrol from 26 to 30 percent and 18 to 22 percent on diesel.
