'No cut in excise duty on fuel as of now': Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman
There will be no cut in excise duty on fuel as of now. Exchequer is burdened by interest payments being made for oil bonds floated by UPA Govt. The Govt has paid over 62,000 crores in interest in the last 5 years on oil bonds itself: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on Monday.
"We'll still have to pay interest of Rs 37,000 crores by 2026. Despite interest payments, principal outstanding of over 1.30 lakh crores is still pending. If I didn't have the burden of oil bonds, I would have been in a position to reduce excise duty on fuel," she added.
The glitches in the new income tax portal are expected to be fixed entirely in the next 2-3 days, the Finance Minister said.
