Actual Petrol Cost - Action Required

With the prices of petrol going up almost 4-5 times a year, people face it difficult consuming it. Poor public, do strike for day or two and settle down to do their regular work. Government has to take necessary steps in reducing the petrol price. Why I tell government has to take is because more than 50% of Pertol price we pay is taken by government as taxes. Why dont the government stop taking tax for Petrol, which is almost a great relief for public. I am damn sure, whichever government passes this bill, will rule India forever.

Lets see how much tax are we paying for 1litre of pertol in various metros.

	Delhi	Kolkatta	Mumbai	Chennai
Petrol Price	47.43	51.15	51.68	51.59
Sales Tax/VAT	7.90	10.80	11.22	11.64
Excise Duty	14.78	14.78	14.78	14.78
Custom Duty	1.73	1.73	1.73	1.73
Price Without tax	23.02	23.84	23.95	23.44
