TFP Bureau, Raipur, April 2, 2025: In a decisive move aimed at easing business and household expenses, the Chhattisgarh government has unveiled two significant measures as part of its 2025-26 budget. Under the leadership of Chief Minister Vishnudev Sai and guided by Finance Minister OP Choudhary, the state has doubled the e-way bill threshold and slashed VAT on petrol by \u20b91 per liter.<\/p>\n
The new policy increases the mandatory e-way bill limit from \u20b950,000 to \u20b91 lakh for goods transported within the state. This change is expected to benefit around 26% of traders who typically generate e-way bills, reducing the overall requirement by an estimated 54%. However, the exemption will not extend to select items such as pan masala, tobacco products, certain wood products, and materials like iron, steel, and coal.<\/p>\n
In addition to streamlining trade operations, the government has cut the VAT on petrol by \u20b91 per liter. This reduction is anticipated to offer immediate relief to the middle and lower-middle class families, particularly benefiting the large number of two-wheeler users across Chhattisgarh.<\/p>\n
Officials described these initiatives as part of a broader commitment to ease the economic burden on the state’s residents while accelerating local economic growth. By reducing bureaucratic hurdles and lowering everyday expenses, the government aims to foster a more business-friendly and economically resilient environment.<\/p>\n
These steps underscore Chhattisgarh\u2019s proactive approach to addressing long-standing demands from traders and the general public, marking a significant stride in the state’s economic development agenda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
