An RTI response has shown that the government continued to collect money under the cess even after July 1, 2017.

New Delhi:
The Narendra Modi-led Central government has collected tax worth more than Rs 1,300 crore under the Krishi Kalyan Cess (KKC) despite having abolished it, information received through the Right to Information has revealed.

The Ministry of Finance had gradually disposed of several cesses with the Goods and Services Tax (GST) rollout, including the KKC which was abolished on July 1, 2017.

However, the Directorate General (Systems and Data Management) of the finance ministry’s revenue department has replied to an RTI query stating that Rs 1,340.55 crore was collected under Swachh Bharat Cess after that date.

On March 6, 2018, minister of state for finance Shiv Pratap Shukla had told the Rajya Sabha in response to a question that both the Swachh Bharat Cess and the KKC have been abolished since July 1, 2017

Additionally, a press release issued by the finance ministry on June 7, 2017 also stated that a number of cesses, including the KKC, would be repealed from July 1, 2017 to implement the GST.

However, according to information obtained from the Directorate General  (Systems and Data Management), a total of Rs 1,340.55 crore was collected under the KKC between July 1, 2017 and January 2019.

Collecting money in the name of a tax that no longer exists raises serious questions about the government’s intentions.
