Special Commodity Levy on big onions, slashed
The Special Commodity Levy imposed on imported big onions, has been reduced by Rs. 20 to Rs. 10 per kilogram.
This will be in effect during the period from today (Dec. 01) to December 31, 2024.
However, it has been decided to keep the Special Commodity Levy imposed on imported potatoes unchanged.
Announcing the decision, a media release issued by the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development states that the move comes amid a notable rise in the market price of onions.
