Fact Check- Viral post falsely claims that state levies more tax on LPG cylinder than Centre

India Today Anti-Fake News War Room ( AFWA) has found that this viral claim is misleading. LPG taxing falls under the GST regime.

Amid the rising fuel prices, a message has gone viral with the claim that the Central government levies only 5 per cent tax on an LPG cylinder whereas the state charges 55 per cent. Showing a price break-up, the viral post on Facebook obliquely claims that state government taxes are the main reason behind the whopping price of LPG in the country.
