No proposal at present to include petroleum under GST: Sitharaman

FM says GST Council will take it up after considering revenue impact

Amid rising fuel prices, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Monday informed Parliament that there is no proposal at present to include petrol, diesel and three other fuels under the goods and services tax.  

“At present, there is no proposal to bring crude petroleum, petrol, diesel, ATF and natural gas under GST,” she said in a written reply in the Lok Sabha.

She said 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,"
