Government may cut excise duty
Experts say that the last time when the price of petrol and diesel crossed Rs 100 per liter, the central government had cut the excise duty. On petrol this deduction was Rs 5 per liter, while on diesel it was cut by Rs 10 per liter. Looking at the current prices of crude oil, once again there is a possibility of petrol and diesel going to Rs 100 per liter. In such a situation, the central government can cut excise duty further to give relief to the common people. Currently, the excise duty is Rs 27.90 per liter on petrol and Rs 21.80 per liter on diesel.
