Are We Paying Too Much for Petrol? Let's Talk About Taxes and Government Policies

Amol Karmalkar
Taxes can be definitely reduced to some extent… More importantly…. .kharcha Pani of these netas must be reduced!!!!! !!!! What say??? These may control the prices.

Following is the article from well known Newspaper.
Find the detail break-up of the Final price of petrol available at fuel pumps.

This is a break up considering crude oil at 130 $ per barrel. Following details are for per liter petrol in Rs.

Basic Price = 21.93
Excise duty = 14.35
Education Tax = 00.43
Dealer commission = 01.05
VAT = 05.50
Crude Oil Custom duty = 01.10
Petrol Custom = 01.54
Transportation Charge = 06.00
Total price = Rs 51.90

So for a Rs 22 liter petrol at pumps we people pay Rs 28 tax extra.


Govt. is thinking to impose more price hike to curtain with the current crude oil bubble in International oil crisis.

If Central Govt. wish, it can still reduce the price of petrol in the current crisis situation, but it doesn't intend to do so, instead trying to fool the people and Nation. This is the basis LEFT parties are opposing, just generating more profits for the oil marketing companies.

Don't you think you should pass this message to create more awareness among the people. So they Consider this aspect before they vote for the coming elections.

The Congress party has ruled for the most of the years of independent India...

Think if they have been kind to the common man the nation would have been richer......

Well said! The extravagant expenses of these politicians must be reduced. But who will take the initiative? Initially, people protest, organize strikes, etc., but eventually, they forget and become accustomed to the increased prices. This cycle continues perpetually.

Things can well be understood by the said calculations. But we need to accept that the Neta community always watches the game till the last moment, and later they simply raise their hands.

We need to solve our problems and not wait for our Netas to take action. I am suggesting a few points which we can at least try:

1.) Sense - Energy Wastage in every activity

2.) Stop - Energy Appliances when not in use

3.) Search - Energy-Efficient Solutions

4.) Select - Energy-Saving Devices

5.) Shift - Towards Available Energy Sources

6.) Service - Energy-Consuming Units

7.) Scrap - Energy Inefficient Appliances

8.) Schedule - More Activities at a Time

9.) Sacrifice - Your Comfort & Status

10) Spread - Energy Conservation Message
