If you are in the state of Maharashtra then you have to shell out extra money for buying mobile handsets. Mobile phones in Maharashtra have become costly as a result of government's decision to hike the VAT that is implemented on mobile phones. Anyway, people have put brakes on their spending spree, thanks to recession and now this ruling as left many people especially the retailers and authorized mobile phone sellers unhappy. As a result of this ruling by the government, the retailers have called for a small bandh, wherein they will shut their shops for three hours and the Indian Cellular Association is also taking steps so that the government restores the VAT to 4% from 8.5% (new rate). If the government does not listen to their plea then I guess it will make sense for buyers to get their mobile phones from neighboring states like Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh.
