Petrol, diesel under GST: HC asks Centre to decide
KOCHI: The Kerala high court has asked the central government to decide on a representation seeking to bring petroleum products under goods and services tax (GST) regime.
A division bench comprising chief justice S Manikumar and justice Shaji P Chaly asked the government to take a decision on the representation raising the demand within six weeks after considering a petition (WP-C No. 12481/2021) filed by Kerala Pradesh Gandhi Darshanvedi through advocate Arun B Varghese.
It was alleged by the petitioner that petrol and diesel rates differ in various states as the tax levied by each state is different.
