On the basis of the decision taken in the meeting of Finance Ministers of Northern States for bringing uniformity in the tax rates, the Delhi government on Tuesday rationalized the VAT rates for Petrol and Diesel.
The VAT rate for Petrol has been revised from 25 % to 27 % and for Diesel from 16.6 % to 18%. In financial terms, this will result in a minimal upward revision in the cost of both these products, which will be less than Rupee one for both petrol and diesel i.e. 96 paise for petrol and 53 paise in case of diesel.
Fresh rates will be applicable from 19th January, 2016. Diesel will now be available at Rs.44.71/- per litre as against the previous cost of Rs.44.18/-.
Petrol will cost Rs.59.99/- instead of the previous Rs.59.03/-per litre.
