By increasing excise on decreased price of crude oil and with shifting the load of increasing crude prices on the people, government has already mopped up money to ensure ecnomic spending without deviating much from fiscal deficit targets.
Introduction of a covid cess will also be a positive step if not welcoming, the government should fix the limit of the cess to be charged. Most of the cess become permanent taxation item in our country.
