2% increase means it will turn out to be a big amount in the end. More over the vehicle cost will increase due to import duty being increased. We have to wait until April to get a clear image on how much increase on each car

also excise benifit for big vehicles given last year has been kept again, means all UV vehicles would cost more.

Car prices to go up immediately after this or from 1st April?

This will happen from the next financial year i.e from April 1st. If in the budget if they specify from "immediate effect" then it will be from next day itself or else it will be from April 1st

Total IT benefit to be above 57600/-

Total ITax benefit would be above 57600/ for those with taxable income above 8 lakhs, taking in to account edu cess and additional 20K savings in infrastructure bonds.

Guys,

Increase of fuel price would be more than Rs. 1 i guess. Read this

" In the wake of spiralling petroleum prices, Government provided full exemption from basic customs duty to crude petroleum and proportionately reduced the basic duty on refined petroleum products in June, 2008. Compared to the international price of the Indian crude basket of US$ 112 per barrel at that time, the prices are much softer at present. In view of the pressing need to move back to a fiscal consolidation path, I propose to restore the basic duty of 5 per cent on crude petroleum; 7.5 per cent on diesel and petrol and 10 per cent on other refined products. I also propose to enhance the Central Excise duty on petrol and diesel by Re.1 per litre each."

Was completely expecting the increase in petrol & diesel.
Didn't imagine the government could subsidize fuel to the same degree since such a long time. Even when oil was tripling its price worldwide 18 months back, price was increased only by around rs.5, which was also partially rolled back later. It definitely didn't merit the walkout from the opposition side.
Read the excise duty on large vehicles is at 20%; how much was it earlier?
2% increase in excise is also great to hear, since its only a partial rollback. FM seems to have something up his sleeve for the next budget. It'll make sense to buy a vehicle this year itself before the excise increases anymore after the next budget.

Previously also it was 20% itself. They have not reduced or increased this time. So the additional increase in 2% will make it little bit more costlier for UV buyers IMO. So it is best to buy this year if you want to those those extra bucks.

Nope! Excise effect will be implemented from the mid night from the budget date, hence any of the Excise Invoice from 27th Feb 2010 will be of 10% Excise duty instead of 8%.

Is the increase in fuel price going to the Oil Companies towards input costs or the Tax Dept as Excise?

My dream of buying a SUV is becoming a distant dream with every budget.

I hoped that they would come up with some SOPS for less polluting vehicles such as EV. Since our Environment minister was once the adviser for then finance minister P C.

Petrol prices to rise by Rs 2.67/litre, diesel by Rs 2.58/litre from tonight :: Source Economic times.
So now the real game starts. Excise duty increased, fuel price increased. Now if the car prices increase then customer count will reduce
