Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?Correct
Answer: B

- Statement I is correct: The Union government has scrapped windfall tax on domestically-produced crude oil and export of jet fuel (ATF), diesel and petrol. It has also withdrawn road and infrastructure cess on petrol and diesel exports.
- Statement 2 is correct: A Windfall Tax is a higher tax imposed by governments on industries that witness unexpected and above-average profits. Governments impose this tax to share the benefits of extraordinary profits and redistribute them for public welfare or economic stability. India’s windfall tax is aimed at curbing excessive profits by oil producers and exporters due to volatile global crude oil prices.
Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement i: The government has removed the windfall tax on domestically produced crude oil and exports of petrol, diesel, and aviation turbine fuel, for addressing industry demands after falling international oil prices significantly reduced export values. Therefore while both statements are correct, statement II explains the imposition of windfall tax and not why it has recently been scrapped.
