GST Council Meeting

Earlier last week, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman chaired the GST Council meeting chaired and held major discussions on fuel prices in India. During the meeting, the council turned down the proposal to include fuel prices under GST. Stating it's the wrong time for it, the council further said that several states have opposed adding petroleum products under GST. 

Changes in fuel prices 

Fuel prices in India have been increasing since the month of May after the completion of Assembly Polls in the states of West Bengal, Assam, Kerala, Puducherry, and Tamil Nadu. However, major cities, including Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, and Kolkata, saw minor changes in the period and are currently selling fuel at the highest ever rate. 

The diesel and petrol prices are revised by the leading oil marketing companies such as Bharat Petroleum, Indian Oil, and Hindustan Petroleum. The prices in different states and cities are not the same due to the difference in value-added taxes (VAT), fuel-excise charges by the central and state governments.
