Petroleum tax adjusted to green tax, gold luxury duty removed
According to the new system, infrastructure development tax of Rs 10 per liter and road maintenance and improvement tax of Rs 4 per liter have been completely abolished. However, the tax levied under both these headings in the past has now been adjusted to 'Green Tax' and the rate has been slightly increased.
