Through taxation only, the government can meet the infrastructure expenses. There is no need to compare the prices of other countries where they will have a different source of revenue to run the government. Our taxation is less than in other developed countries.

Yes, it is true that the petrol prices in our country are higher when compared to other countries. However, the most important thing is that our government is collecting taxes for public welfare only.

The petrol prices in other countries are lower. But they have their own pros and cons.

Look at the actual picture with the standard of living and currency of the respective country, not at the conversion rate to Rupees.

Petrol price in:

1 US CENT = 0.47 Paise

Pakistan Rs. 26 (Pak Rs 67.95 a liter)

Bangladesh Rs. 22 (Bangladesh Taka 87 a litre)

Cuba Rs. 19 (126.9 US cents/litre = Rs 59.64)

Nepal Rs. 34 (Nepali Rs 85 per Litre)

Burma Rs. 30 (96.33 US cents/litre = Rs 45.27)

Afghanistan Rs. 36 (78.45 US cents/litre = Rs 36.87)

Qatar Rs. 30 (23.07 US cents/litre = Rs 10.84)

Note: Afghanistan Prices are controlled by the US & Qatar is a Gulf Oil Based Country (Manufacturer). India has to import most of its Oil & Petroleum Products, and it's based on Global Oil Prices. Our Government bears a part of the cost by providing reimbursement & subsidy to Oil Companies in various forms. Although I agree that It can be done in a better way, it's the BEST that the Govt can do under present circumstances whereas all previous Govts have failed miserably to control checks on Critical Imports.

Whatever the cost might be, but we are living in a safer country. Pakistan and other countries mentioned above are infested with terrorism compared to our country. There is gross human rights violation in Afghanistan, political instability in Nepal, Bangladesh infested by fundamentalists, and Pakistan a failed state where an average of 20 to 30 people are killed daily. We Indians are a lot better off than these countries. Enjoy living in India with a lot of freedom, fun, and self-respect. I am proud to be an Indian no matter what. And we HR people shouldn't compare ourselves with others. One living in India cannot expect to get killed in a bomb blast or suicide attack when he goes to put petrol in his bike. Happy?

Dear Shreya Mishra,

Could you work out the taxes in your calculation:
BASIC COST PER 1 LITRE: 16.50
Centre tax: 11.80%
Excise duty: 9.75%
VAT cess: 4%
State tax: 8%
Total: Rs. 50.05

I am not able to arrive at the total of Rs. 50.05, even if one adds the taxes at every stage. Maybe my arithmetic is nothing to write home about. Can you work it out for us so that we can arrive at the total of Rs. 50.05?

Warm regards.

Dear Friends,

The government has to consider that if the prices of petrol and diesel are raised, it will have an impact on the prices of all common goods such as vegetables, fruits, ration, medicines, etc. So, a common man who is not using any vehicle consuming petrol will have to pay the penalty for the increased prices of petrol/diesel.

THINK ABOUT IT.

The calculation as per the rates given is as follows:
Basic Cost Rs.16.50 Centre Tax @ 11.80% Rs. 1.95 Excise @ 9.75% Rs. 1.80 VAT @ 4% Rs. 0.81 State Tax @ 8% Rs. 1.69 Total Rs.22.75

In fact, the tax rates have to be higher to arrive at the present market rate of Rs.56/-. Can anyone provide the exact rates and calculations? The citizens are being misled into believing that there is a heavy subsidy on petroleum products.

Thank you for addressing the issue.
