No dual policy. Levy heavy/extra tax on luxury cars, use it for betterment of public transport.

farming's share of diesel is close to 10%.. it should be possible to make direct payment
the worst thing about diesel subsidy is, we are subsidizing pollution... indian diesel has very high particulate content and is carcinogenic.. the right thing to do is to increase taxes on diesel and shift towards cleaner diesel

why, simple you drive in a SUV to fill diesel, pay @66/-plus and only direct refilling allowed, no jarricane/canister filling. A truck drives in, pays @40/-. Accounting by the pump is child's play.

Introduce a new tax to be paid during insurance renewal for all vehicle except tractors, lorries, buses, goods carrying vehicles) collect 5% of the vehicle insurance cost as tax and pay that amount to oil marketing companies.

nobody discuss the tax percentage, we don't want any subsidy, but tax percentage to be at par with other oils,goods etc,tax on petrol/diesel is more than 66% and for other goods it is only 5 to 12%.
