Claim: 64% of the taxes collected on petrol go to the state governments, whereas the center retains only 36 % – Jyotiraditya Scindia.
Fact-check: Central government retains 98.3% of Central Excise duty, whereas the remaining 1.7% is distributed among the states - FACTLY
Verdict: central government levies excise duty of rs. 32.9 on liter petrol. however, of the total central excise duty, rs. 32.33 paise i.e. 98.27% is retained by the center and only 1.73% is distributed among all the states. hence the claim made in the post is false.
