## SUGGESTIONS FOR INCLUSION OF PETROLUEM PRODUCTS UNDER GST

## 2336.   DR. DHAL SINGH BISEN: SHRI AJAY NISHAD:

## Will the Minister of FINANCE be pleased to state:

- (a) the names of States which have not agreed to bring diesel and petrol under the purview of Goods and Services Tax (GST) along with the reasons therefor;
- (b) whether the Government has conducted any study to assess the quantum of financial losses likely to be suffered by the State Governments after bringing diesel and petrol under the purview of GST and if so, the details thereof, State/UT-wise;
- (c)  whether  the  State  Governments  have  given  any  suggestions  regarding  inclusion  of  petroleum products  under GST and if so, the  details  thereof  along  with  the  measures  being  taken  to  widen  the scope of GST; and
- (d)  whether  the  main  reason  for  inflation  is  rising  prices  of  diesel  and  petrol  and  if  so,  the  details  of products that are mostly affected from this?

## ANSWER MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE (SHRI PANKAJ CHAUDHARY)

(a) (b) and (c): Article 279 A (5) of the Constitution prescribes that the Goods and Service Tax Council shall  recommend  the  date  on  which  the  goods  and  services  tax  be  levied  on  petroleum  crude,  high speed diesel, motor spirit (commonly known as petrol), natural gas and aviation turbine fuel (ATF). Also, as per the section 9(2) of the CGST Act, inclusion of these products in GST will require recommendation of the GST Council. So far, the GST Council, in which the states are also represented, has not made any recommendation  for  inclusion  of  these  goods  under  GST.  The  Council  may  consider  the  issue  of inclusion  of  these  products  at  a  time  it  considers  appropriate  keeping  in  view  all  relevant  factors.  At present, the products are not covered in GST and no recommendation has been made so far by the GST Council, therefore, it would be pre-mature to assess the financial loss likely to be suffered by the State Governments on inclusion of these products in GST.

( d): Consumer Price Index (CPI) for 'Petrol for vehicle' inflation has declined from 16.83 in May, 2022 to 5.37 in June, 2022. CPI for 'Diesel for vehicle' has declined from 11.52 in May, 2022 to 0.68 in June, 2022.

Will the Minister of CULTURE be pleased to state:

- (a) whether Panipat was the place of three important battles in the history of India where a king name (Hem Chandra Vikramaditya) also known as Vikramaditya won 22 battles against Afghan rebels across North India from Punjab to Bengal during 1553-1556 and established Hindu Rule in Northern India;
- (b) whether the Government  proposes  to establish the memorial of King Vikramaditya  in  Parliamentary  Constituency  of  Panipat  in  co-ordination  with  the State Government; and
- (c) if so, the details thereof and if not, the reasons therefor?

## Minister of Culture, Tourism and Development of North Eastern Region (Shri G. Kishan Reddy)

## ANSWER

- (a) Yes, Sir.
- Details of the battles are as follows: i.  1 st battle of Panipat between Ibrahim Lodi & Babar (20 th April, 1526) ii.  2 nd battle of Panipat between Himu & Akbar (5 November, 1556) rd
- iii.  3 battle  of  Panipat  between  Marathas  Empire  &  Durrani  Afghan  Empire (14 January 1761)

Himu was employed by the last rulers of Sur dynasty i.e. Islam Shah and Adil Shah. Adil Shah had given a military command to Himu to suppress the revolts against him. During this time Humayun found the division among afghan as an opportunity to reclaim his lost kingdom and captured Delhi. Adil Shah who had given Himu the command to contain revolts managed to capture Delhi after the accidental  fall  of  Humayun  from  his  library.  Taking  advantage  of  this  situation

Himu assumed independence with a title of Raja Vikramaditya. Historian Sunil Kumar sarker mentions in his book that Himu fought 22 battles and  was  everywhere  victorious  but  the  same  fact  has  not  been  furnished  by many  other  Historians,  however,  they  do  appreciate  his  strategic  skills  and mentions  about  various  battles  he  won.  Many  of  these  battles  he  fought  must have been against Afghans who revolted against his employer Adil Shah.
