India has increased the windfall tax on domestically produced crude oil to Rs 2,300 per tonne while eliminating the levy on diesel and ATF exports.
New Delhi, Jan 2 (PTI) The government has hiked the windfall tax on crude oil produced in the country and cut the levy to nil on exports of diesel and ATF.
The tax, levied in the form of Special Additional Excise Duty (SAED), on domestically produced crude oil has been raised to Rs 2,300 from Rs 1,300 per tonne, according to an official notification.
The SAED on the export of diesel has been reduced to nil from Rs 0.50 a litre.
