Budget FY13 provides some insight into possible regulatory changes The government is considering abolishing regulatory duty and scaling down Customs duty to 25% on various luxury goods, which include new and used cars and their components. While Depreciation allowance of 1% per month on import of CBUs is expected to remain unchanged, despite a proposal of 2% per month by the car importers. Although the final word in this regard is going to be contained in the upcoming Auto Industry Development Plan (AIDP-II), we believe that those guidelines are going to be more or less in line with the announcements in Budget FY13.
