Why petrol-diesel rates are different in every state

The difference in prices of petrol and diesel is due to local sales tax or VAT (Value Added Tax). Apart from this, excise duty is also imposed on it which is the central levy.

The government earns a lot from tax

Compared to the last five years, the excise duty on petrol in 2014 was just Rs 9.48 per liter, which has increased to Rs 32.9 per liter by 2020. At the same time, the excise duty on diesel was only Rs 3.56 per liter in 2014, now it has been Rs 31.83 per liter.

According to Ajay Kedia of Kedia Commodities, if the tax recovery from the central government and the states is reduced slightly, then the prices can be brought downwards. The burden of excise duty and VAT (VAT) has increased considerably. During the Corona period, the central government increased excise duty twice. Excise duty has been increased by Rs 17 per liter on petrol and Rs 16 on diesel. States charge VAT on excise duty. The current price is about 20 rupees higher than the actual price. That means petrol will be cheaper at 20 rupees.

When will it be cheaper now

According to Ajay Kedia, crude oil has gone up very fast. Prices have risen by more than 30 percent. The next one month is very important because internationally the price of crude oil can go up from 55 to 62 dollars per barrel. Economic activities are opening up and demand in transport system is increasing rapidly. Now the demand will increase further. Experts believe that if the price of crude oil reaches $ 58-60 per barrel, then petrol will go beyond Rs 100 per liter.
