The
Sakal Udyog Vyapar Sangarsh Samiti had given a call for a
bandh on August 20 and 21 to push for parity in VAT rates,
Rajasthan Petrol Dealers Association President Suneet
Bagai said in a statement here.
There are "discrepencies" in VAT rates among the
states of Rajasthan, Haryana, Delhi, Punjab and Uttar
Pradesh, and it was difficult to match the rates for the
benefit of customers, Bagai said.
BJP President Rajnath Singh had asked states ruled by the
party to reduce cess levied on retail fuel sales after the
UPA government raised the prices in June. However, the
Raje government in the state was still indecisive on the
matter.
