    It is a tragedy the govt. prefered to pocket the reduction in the international oil price to itself instead of passing on to the public. Whenever the crude prices went up govt. never cared to reduce the duty/taxes and collected huge excess money from public as the tax/duty is a function of the crude price. Govt got used to excess collection as the child get used to spend the excess money rather than save or use it for constructive purpose. Having done that, now, with the reduction in the international crude price, govt. cannot manage with the reduced collection. The prsent govt. which is supposedly ‘different’ from the previous dispensation should not have increased the duty but passed on to public. Govt must promise that it will reduce the duty/taxes whenever the crude prices start rising in future, at least.
