Shopping on e-shopping sites to get 5 per cent costlier in Uttar Pradesh

New Delhi: Shoppers in Uttar Pradesh have to shell out 5% more for buying any product online.   The Uttar Pradesh government on Tuesday imposed an entry tax on items purchased from e-retailers.     The move is seen to pacify retailers in the state. It was given a nod by CM Akhilesh Yadav during a state cabinet meeting yesterday.   The 5% entry tax is seen as a big going in favour of lakhs of retailers who were losing out their businesses to e-commerce portals.
