With the initiative of Haryana Finance and Excise and Taxation Minister Captain Abhimanyu for economic strengthening of North and implementing “One nation, one tax” regime, a meeting of Finance Ministers and senior officers of northern states was organised here today.

Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and Punjab Finance Minister Manpreet Singh Badal represented their respective states at the meeting. Senior officials of Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Chandigarh and Uttar Pradesh also participated in the meeting.

It was agreed at the meeting to bring uniformity on petrol and diesel rates and all the participating states decided to constitute a sub-committee for the same. The panel will convene a meeting in 15 days and the states will submit their recommendations. Captain Abhimanyu said on the advice of Delhi, a same excise policy would be implemented in northern states. Punjab proposed a uniform policy for state transport so that there should be no loss of revenue from registration and permit fee as many vehicles of Punjab and Haryana have registration outside their states.
