Yachts and similar vessels<\/strong> \u2013 Custom Duty raised from 10% to 25%.<\/p>\nApnaplan\u2019s Opinion:<\/h3>\n
I think some of hikes on luxury goods and cigarettes are justified but I would give thumbs down to increase of duty on mobile phones, set top boxes and Parking fees.

Smart phones are rapidly increasing internet penetration in India and so increasing excise duty seems restrictive policy. The increase might have been done on phones with MRP of more than Rs. 15,000 than Rs 2,000.<\/p>\n
