States say no to GST on jet fuel
Jaisalmer: States turned down any move to levy Goods and Services Tax on Aviation Turbine Fuel , a persistent demand from the aviation sector, at the GST Council meeting . Briefing reporters about the decisions of the GST Council on Saturday, Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman said the issue was discussed by the members but states did not agree to it bringing it under the ambit of GST. "States did not feel comfortable," she said.

States do not want the ATF within GST because they see it as part of the crude petroleum diesel basket, she said.

"...and therefore they said that it alone cannot be taken out, and therefore that continues to remain where it is today," she said.

Petrol, Diesel Rates May Ease As Cheaper Crude Arrives: What Hardeep Puri’s Signal Means For India

Union Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri says petrol and diesel rates in India may ease once recently bought cheaper crude reaches refiners, after global oil prices cooled and Brent slipped below $80 a barrel. The signal matters because India imports most of its crude, so any sustained fall can filter through to motorists, freight users and inflation. But the relief is unlikely to be immediate, because fuel prices depend on inventory cycles, logistics and how quickly oil companies pass on lower input costs.
