CHANDIGARH: A joint subcommittee comprising officials of Punjab, Haryana , Himachal Pradesh, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Chandigarh was formed on Tuesday for giving recommendations on how to have uniform fuel prices across the five northern states and the Union territory.The meeting was called as part of implementing Centre’s ‘One Nation One Tax’ plan, said a press release issued by Captain Abhimanyu on Tuesday. “It was agreed during the meeting to bring uniformity on the tax rates of petrol and diesel,” the release stated. The decision was taken in a meeting called by Haryana finance minister Captain Abhimanyu here. While finance ministers of Punjab and Delhi, Manpreet Badal and Manish Sisodia , also took part in the meeting, senior officials represented Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and Chandigarh.The decision to form the sub-panel was taken after all states agreed to bring uniformity in the rates of petrol and diesel. The committee would convene a meeting in 15 days and all participating states will submit their recommendations on the prices, said the release.During the meeting, Badal suggested that there should be a uniform policy for the state transport so that there should be no loss of revenue from registration and permit fees because of different tax rates. He pointed out that it was seen that many trucks and vehicles of Punjab and Haryana get their registration done from other states.Abhimanyu later told media persons said a similar excise policy will be implemented in all northern states, so that there is similarity in rates of liquor. Likewise, Punjab suggested that there should be a similar uniform policy for state transport, so that there should be no loss of revenue from registration and permit fees since many trucks and vehicles of Punjab and Haryana had their registration from other states.Sisodia said northern states have shown consensus on having same tax rates on liquor also. “It will lead to increase in the government revenue and at the same, curb black marketing,” he said.A committee of officials has also been set up for excise and transport, which would send the report to their respective state governments on the uniformity of rates.
