Commodity Levy on Imported Grains reduced
The special commodity levy on imported grains has been reduced from July 26 because of the insufficient supply of local grains to the market, the Finance and Planning Ministry said.
It said the prevailing drought was the reason for the low grain supply.
A kilo of Mysore Dhal has been reduced by Rs.3; Cowpea by Rs.30; Watana Dhal by Rs.7; Green Gram by Rs.32, Chickpeas by Rs.5 and Kurakkan by Rs.30/-.(SI/KH)
