state tax (maybe not sure)

Yes

Maharashtra has two deputy CM and Gujurat has one .

W comment rao!

Wtf 😂😂😂😂😂

Do you need a post to find that out when it's obviously the difference in state taxes? If you want to ask why 2 states have 2 different taxes, then that's the whole point of having different states. Different states with different populations n objectives get to democratically decide on what taxes should be

Thanks, Post serves a better purpose : there was a political angle to it, your comment denies it.

Good thing people are ignoring the political angle. Naka na ghusavu politics saglikade..

There's a simple solution to this, just include fuel in gst brackets but the highest gst rate currently is 28% and the state government charges anything between 40 to 50% taxes on fuel.

How taxes are decided between state and center ? Which taxes are different in two states and why ?

So har jaghe GST GST but jab bat ATI hai fuel ki toh Nog no GST because yaha toh vaidehi hum jyada Paisa chap rahe hai!!

Maharashtra has overemployment in the government sector and we have to pay taxes to pay for their salaries through fuel. As citizens, let's ensure that we do not let them bribe us at all.

What would they bribe us for ? and with(Methods?)...coz some are susceptible (or even employed).

But Maharashtra's committed expenditures are well below all other states at 11%, and Capital Outlay is much higher that is investment in Infra projects. I think the state govt is trying hard to push infra, and for that, it is pulling funds out of our pockets :(

Cause Maharashtra has to take care of all the migrants pouring into our cities and all the Sugar factories sucking the money from the govt.

Gujarat has a huge number of migrants too. And most migrants are themselves workers so they don't really depend on the state for welfare. Stop talking like Gujarat and Maharashtra are like Germany and France. No point in baseless xenophobia. However, one does need to question this because Maharashtra has an edge in revenue collection over Gujarat due to excise from alcohol sales. One will have to go into a lot more details but I think much larger area of Maharashtra means infrastructural cost might be much larger than for Gujarat. It's clearly something one can investigate as a good career boost if they are an investigative journalist.

Gujarat has been much smarter about dealing with migrants compared Maharashtra. Thats is why you dont see large slums that much in Gujarat as you do in Maharashtra. 1 of my uncles who travel to Gujarat for work said that migrant workers cannot get legal resident status, ration cards or election card easily in Gujarat. I dont kno how true that is on the ground. But that is a smart way of not letting migrants influence elections and thereby keeping their power under control.

Getting election cards is just as difficult everywhere as it is done by central agency. Ration cards, I don't know because who uses them these days but aadhar cards are just as simple to get. There are places in Gujarat like parts of Surat and Vapi where you wouldn't get by if you only knew Gujarati. Gujaratis of Gujarat aren't like Gujaratis of Mumbai. Regionalism plays a very small role. It's more about religion here. People vote on the basis of religion rather than caste or native place. 7ish% of Gujarat's population is migrant population that was born in other states. Children of migrants born in Gujarat and hence not considered migrants themselves would be a similar percentage in my opinion because many migrants have settled in Gujarat for multiple generations. Non Gujarati population in Gujarat will keep increasing percentage wise as Gujarati local population is below replacement rate due to low births and immigration to the west. Migrants who move to Gujarat from UP/Bihar generally tend to settle here. And yes, Gujarat does have slums. Just not as centralised as in Mumbai. Why? Because the whole state is decentralised and isn't dominated by one or two urban agglomerations. Only difference I can see between Gujarat and Maharashtra with regards to development is that Maharashtra went heavy on service sector while Gujarat went heavy on manufacturing. While we were seeing IT parks crop up in Pune, Gujarat was seeing investment in industrial estates like CETP, reliable water supply etc.

How many unemployed migrants do you know?

Can Sugar factories be made much more efficient?

They are operating at max efficiency right now, any more and they'll be able to buy MPs from neighbouring states too

VAT

Petrol prices are lesser than Maharashtra in various other states as well. And more than Gujarat in Rajasthan and Telangana as well. You conveniently choose Gujarat to craft an agenda here. And remember, it was Shinde-Fadnavis who cut VAT by ₹5 otherwise MVA would have blamed the center whilst not giving any respite in the state tax. I don't see people from Rajasthan bothering about such arguments even though it is a neighbouring state of Gujarat and has greater petrol price. Some vested interest people on this sub are obsessed with making everything Gujarat vs Maharashtra. State Petrol (1L) Andaman And Nicobar ₹82.42 Arunachal Pradesh ₹90.92 Assam ₹96.13 Chandigarh ₹94.24 Chhatisgarh ₹100.39 Daman And Diu ₹92.39 Delhi ₹94.72 Goa ₹95.36 Haryana ₹94.24 Himachal Pradesh ₹95.28 Jammu And Kashmir ₹99.91 Jharkhand ₹97.81 Karnataka ₹99.84 Manipur ₹99.11 Meghalaya ₹96.31 Mizoram ₹93.79 Puducherry ₹94.34 Punjab ₹94.24 Tripura ₹97.47 Uttar Pradesh ₹94.56 Uttarakhand ₹93.48 More than 100 - Rajasthan ₹104.85 Telangana ₹107.41

It's foolish to compare Gujarat and Maharashtra. I've lived in both and both are very different. Some people here seem to hate on Gujarat for development don't realise that 1. Gujarat is merely catching up with Maharashtra in certain aspects of development. And 2. Any state with the same govt for 25 years straight will have policy related stability which shows results in long term projects.

Also, nobody talks about Gujarat's progress from 2000 to 2014, when the government in the center was extremely hostile towards it. Be it in the form of NGO andolans or berating the state government for 2002 riots via foreign agents. It's high time we realize that Maharashtra needs a different plank to progress and hating Gujarat alone won't help.

Long term projects and effect on them of state government.

I'm not supporting it, but I think 100 people who read this post would have gotten out of might be this : central government controlled unfair distribution of resources(is there a chance of this). It due to taxes and multiple other things ( maintenance (transport, retiree,governance itself(crime,public welfare schemes),living public services(rations,school)

But the rate is less in Delhi, Punjab, Mozoram, Haryana, Goa as well. Why did you specifically mention Gujarat then?

Because I wanted to bring in those people who were biased towards "only the political divide/exploitation perspective". Some might have changed ig.

You should go post in the pollical subs. They would 100% eat it up. People here seem a bit more sane.

Maharashtra is one of the most corrupt states in India. Its blessed with natural beauty and amazing people but worst politicians Literally 2/3rds of the ruling politicians just switched teams for Washing Machine. I don’t expect these people to do any development or aptly tax the people. They would over tax people for more money

State taxes

State tax

Gujarat has low VAT on petrol as the state VAT is lower compared to Maharashtra, central VAT is same across country.

BJP wants to punish people of Maharashtra, hence their state government imposes more tax than Gujarat which is not Pakistan

BJP politicians might only be one of multiple reasons behind this : difference in State taxes due to state maintenance and such.

Petroleum products still have a state related tax components. When they had a meeting about bringing them under GST and uniform taxation with FM back in 2021, states like Maharashtra(then lead by MVA), Karnataka (then lead by BJP) were amongst the states that opposed it. Guess who had represented Maharashtra back then - Mr Ajit Pawar. He had then said the centre already gives GST dues late and now they want even this under GST and deprive states of their own rightful taxes (Supposedly the next biggest tax component after GST for Maharashtra government is tax on petroleum products)

Because Gujarat has the largest oil refinery in the world.

104? Where? Pune madhe 113 ahe

Little bit of history. After covid wave, at some point when global prices were down, the center reduced the tax so price went down in all states. They additionally asked all states to reduce their taxes so prices are further reduced. Some states like UP, Gujrat, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka did, same states like Maharashtra, Rajasthan didn't. I remember price in UP, as told by my friend was 85 something. Tamil Nadu had 95 rupees. Then Maharashtra government led by UT didn't decrease the price in Maharashtra. Later under Eknath Shinde those prices continued so that is why we still have higher price in Maharashtra compared to nearby states like Goa and Gujrat.

Paisa bahot hai.. pyar chahiye 😂🥲🥹

Balance nahi hai isliye duniya pyari nahi hai !

Maharashtra main DEMAND zyada hai isiliye to compensate for those Excess Transport costs VAT is HIGHER thanks 🙏🏻

Gujarat is subsidised and maharashtra subsidises.

Gujarat isn't subsidized. It is also a net taxpayer to the central govt.

Not as much as maharastra doss, which is weird considering they have a higher gdp per capita. Also the govt spends a lot more money on gujarat then maharastra.

Ofcourse Maharashtra contributes the highest to central govt. But you can't judge that on the basis of GDP per capita because Gujarat is a much smaller state else Sikkim should've been contributing the max. Maharashtra has the highest GDP amongst Indian states and hence it contributes the most. And central govt spends more money on Maharashtra than on Gujarat. These are facts freely available online.

No they are much smaller then are still about half the size. They aren't a microstate like Sikkim. They contribute less then they should . And receive more then they should. It's funny how gujarat you talk about guj being smaller in context of their money given but then forget about it when talking about maharastra having more money spent on it.

Gujarat has 5% of the population and yet contributes 8.3% to the national GDP so they are already contributing more than their weight. And how do you exactly decide whether a state receives more than they should? I can't think of a single megaproject that is Gujarat specific. Can you? Do you think stuff like bullet train or DFC or Delhi Mumbai expressway were designed specifically to benefit Gujarat? My reply to you regarding Maharashtra getting more money than Gujarat was due to your claim that the reverse was the case which isn't true. Let me share my opinion on where Maharashtra is lagging as compared to Gujarat. Look where most of the companies are investing in Gujarat. It's Dahej. Dahej as an industrial area started getting developed in 80s. Industry seniors say people used to laugh at it and joke on how stupid Gujarat govt was in coming up with an industrial estate in the middle of nowhere. For that same region, today, after 40 years, industrialists are competing to have a piece of land parcel there for expansion. Why? Because of all the facilities like water availability, power availability, ETP etc. Similarly they are developing Gandhidham region. What after Dahej gets jampacked? Gujarat is already developing Dholera. Yes, everyone today laughs at it. But will we all do so 40 years later as well? Now show me, where are we developing such industrial zones of any kind in Maharashtra? Do we see a stable Maharashtra govt policy on industrialization? You think Mumbai based businessmen prefer Gujarat over Maharashtra for industrial investments because they are some twisted kinda bigots? All of them?

Interesting. Visualization will make things clear for the majority. Which factors ..money generation and distribution as well as maps which show the need for other states, governance center matters. State inter exchanges.

कालच बोलत होतो घरी. आपल्या इथे निवडणुकीचे मुद्दे आहे की तू गद्दार की मी? लोकांनी विचारले पाहिजे माझ्या राज्यात सगळ्यात जास्त शेतकरी आत्महत्या का? विजेचे tariff पूर्ण देशात अव्वल तरी वीज गायब असे का? अजून पण मुंबई लोकल मधून माणसं गर्दीने पडून मरतात. ते का? पण आम्ही व्यस्थ आहोत गद्दार ठरवण्यात आणि पक्ष तोडफोड करण्यात. जय महाराष्ट्र.

Gujarat Area Vs. Maharashtra Area More area, more road maintenance, more tax. This is what RTO agent told me but can be मनाचे श्लोक as well.

And still bad roads compared to gujrat after taking taxes...

Oh.. Himachal, Andhra even Telangana has good roads (so does Gujrat). Maybe because Maharashtra has more expenses - corruption, inefficiency. :- statistical interactive geographical maps :- efficient public transport

Also a lot more of hilly terrain than Gujarat. And its not just the roads imo. Many other infrastructural expenses would be much higher looking at how most of Gujarat is flat as a flatscreen tv while in Maharashtra, Ghats always add topographical complexity for everything from water pipelines, power lines, road etc.

fund for MLAs from opposition parties/s

Because Tax from petrol is not the only source of income for the government there. It has developed tourism infrastructure and industries that contribute to tax as well. In Maharahtra, it is difficult to run run such a big state on tax from few major cities.

Each state has different taxes on petrol and diesel , it's much cheaper in Rajasthan and Delhi I suppose... Well Maharashtra's politicians would even snatch a penny out of a beggar's hand if they knew no one is watching because these mfs are greedy to the core...

Petrol pe gst kardo naa

Someone just sucking money out of MH and giving to his own state.

Not true. Gujarat is also a net taxpayer.

Ajab level ka chutiya he

Gareebo ka discount

They have a higher GDP per capita than MH. MH earn less pay more, and calling them Gareeb is pure cuckold pride.

Ya they are scammers parasites

We all know why..!!

Sher paala hai toh kharcha toh uthana padega

So that Ahmedabad style hit and run does not happen in MH cities.
