In Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata petrol costs Rs 104.21 , Rs 100.85and Rs 103.94 respectively. India imports about 80% of its oil needs and so domestic pump rates are dependent on international prices, as denominated by Indian basket of crude oil. The other factors on which domestic petrol and diesel prices depend on include central excise duty, VAT or value added tax levied by state governments, dealer and refining margins and transportation cost. As of now, petrol and diesel don't come under the purview of GST. The value of the rupee also has a bearing on domestic fuel prices. A weak rupee increases the landed cost of dollar-denominated crude oil. Petrol and diesel prices in India are reviewed daily in line with the benchmark international rate of the preceding 15 days. So state-owned fuel retailers Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL) are supposed to review petrol and diesel prices daily in line with the cost. Diesel is one of the primary sources of energy for transportation of goods in India. Any change in diesel prices has a direct impact on inflation. FAQs: Why do petrol prices change daily?

Cachar bizman held for Rs 25cr GST evasion through fake ITC claims
Silchar: State GST department's Silchar unit has arrested a Cachar-based businessman for allegedly evading goods and services tax (GST) to the tune of Rs 25 crore through fake billing and fraudulent input tax credit (ITC) claims. The accused, Ishak Ahmed, listed as the director of Khushi Digital Payment Private Limited, was arrested following a raid at his business premises in Pailapool, Cachar. The raid was carried out based on inputs received from the department's Guwahati headquarters. Officials on Tuesday said documents and computers were seized during the operation. Ahmed, a resident of Alipur in the district, was taken into custody after he failed to produce valid documents for business transactions estimated to be worth Rs 100 crore. "We had specific inputs that Rs 15 crore worth of fake ITC was availed, and Rs 10 crore was passed on to other states — amounting to a total tax evasion of Rs 25 crore," said Ronit Roy, assistant commissioner of state tax on Tuesday. "Under Section 69 of the CGST Act, 2017, we are empowered to arrest individuals involved in evasion above Rs 5 crore," he added. Roy said Ahmed was summoned to produce receipts and transaction-related documents. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo "We deferred the hearing twice. On June 14, during the second hearing, he submitted documents that appeared forged. He claimed that a chartered accountant based in Delhi held the original papers and requested two more days, but even after three days, he failed to submit them," Roy told the media. Officials also found discrepancies in the company's directorship. While Ahmed claimed that ownership had changed hands last year, one of the listed directors denied involvement and has lodged a police complaint against him, alleging misuse of identity. Manjit Kumar Borah, joint commissioner of state tax, confirmed the arrest, saying "Following legal procedures, he was arrested and produced before the court. He has been remanded to 14 days of judicial custody. This is one of the major cases of GST fraud in the region through fake ITC claims." Sources in the department said that more arrests may follow as the investigation progresses, indicating that Ahmed may be part of a larger network involved in tax fraud.

Record 57% MNREGS funds spent on agri activities in UP
Lucknow: The utilisation of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MNREGS) funds on agriculture and allied activities reached an all-time high of more than 57% in Uttar Pradesh, in what is seen as yet another indicator of the Yogi Adityanath govt's ever-sharpening focus on the farming sector to boost the state economy. The UP govt spent 57.41% of the total over Rs 4,400 crore released by the Centre to UP under the flagship scheme on agriculture and allied activities in the first quarter of the 2025-26 fiscal, according to the latest data from the rural development department. This was 13 percentage points more than in 2024-25 when 44.36% of the total MNREGS funds were spent on agriculture and allied activities in the state. Even during the pandemic, when economic activities came to a grinding halt and scores of people migrated back to their villages, only 33.76% of the MNREGS funds were spent on agriculture. MNREGS is a demand-driven scheme, meaning funds are released to states based on the agreed-upon labour budget. Officials in the rural development department said that the activities primarily carried out under MNREGS included land development, construction of irrigation canals, water harvesting structures, construction of farm ponds, plantation activities, and fencing. Analysts said that an increased focus on agriculture under MNREGS essentially meant improved farm productivity, employment generation in rural areas, and the creation of durable assets for the farmers. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 임플란트, 지금 시작하세요 [자세히 보기] 임플란트 더 알아보기 Undo Experts said that the higher allocation for agriculture under MNREGS showed clear prioritisation of rural development through agriculture-focused assets, which potentially aligns well with the needs of a predominantly agrarian state like UP. Unlike temporary wage work, agriculture-related MNREGS projects will help create long-term infrastructure (like irrigation systems, ponds, bunds, etc.) that directly benefit farming productivity. Spending on agriculture, analysts said, also leads to multiplier benefits—improved irrigation, better yields, and more income for farmers, which in turn stimulates local rural economies. Activities like the construction of ponds may primarily help small and marginal farmers in storing water during dry months.
