Entry Tax in different states in India - Part 6 - Rajasthan
The Rajasthan High Court [Jodhpur Bench], while delivering the judgement in Dinesh Pouches Ltd vs State of Rajasthan & Others, held that the Rajasthan Tax on Entry of Goods into Local Areas Act, 1999 is unconstitutional and invalid.
The High Court held that the Act was not compensatory as no special services were provided to those from whom the tax was collected. The Act was held to impede interstate trade and commerce. The prior assent of the President was not obtained as required by Article 304(b) of the Constitution.
Date of decision: 21st August 2007
