“You wait, you’ll have to pay more.” this is what Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit said when asked if her government planned more .She said the next round of hikes might come sooner than that. In march 2010,the government will raise the value added tax(VAT)rates of several items under the 12.5% slab to 20%.these might include expensive pens, mobile phone and luxury cars.
“You have to pay more for better services,” Dikshit told our collection have to be better. You travel in lovely low-floor buses and AC buses, you’ll have to pay more” Dikshit said the proposal to raise VAT rates for luxury items would be tabled in the assembly during the budget session in march. “I believe people should pay more VAT on”luxurious items,”
Dikshit said the recent hikes had been long overdue and were required, even if they were unpopular. Over the past months, charges for various amenities in Delhi have gone up. These include average hikes of 70% in bus fares, 36% in metro fares and between 57and 160% in water tariffs
