    Himachal Pradesh, Punjab and Haryana are three states where because of difference in tax structure always attracts lot of categories of customers purchase things smartly. Price of diesel is cheaper in Punjab from Himachal Pradesh and its costlier from Haryana, and price of petrol is costly from Himachal Pradesh and Haryana and dealers of petrol pumps always complaints and try to get focus of tax differences which they unable to convince customers why they purchase petroleum products from them plus why their prices are higher as compare to adjourning state, even as per information cities near to other states badly under effect of high prices as their sale is much low as compare to petrol pumps which are at distance from near by state. Punjab is far ahead as far vehicle sales is concern then from Haryana in both the categories that is two wheelers and four wheelers, but when it comes to the sale of petroleum products then in Punjab state petrol is six rupees dearer from Haryana and diesel is also costly from Haryana and being on highway and people who travel from Punjab to Delhi, they opt to fill the petrol and diesel from Haryana state petrol pumps and they are below coded categories of customers, which prefer Haryana ahead of Punjab –

Recently in a press statement, Punjab Petroleum dealers association President Mr. J.P. Khanna said that Punjab state is getting 25 billion rupees revenue on to the sale of petroleum products as tax but Haryana state is getting revenue on to the sale of petroleum products 30 billion rupees per year. Its main and only reason is higher taxes in Punjab, Mr. Khanna adds with confidence that if Punjab Government reduce the tax on to petroleum products equivalents to Haryana and Himachal then Punjab can earn more then 30 billion rupees, even Punjab is the only state which has octroi on petroleum products and government had promise with the public and petroleum dealers that after implementing surcharge government will end the octroi, but despite imposing surcharge on petroleum products octroi is not removed, How much this is fair for petrol pump dealers to exist in the environment where customers have access to cheaper products with same quality, that’s why a quote is famous among petrol pump dealers –
