- [Sep'17] When the Indian government rolled out GST in mid-2017, it kept petroleum products [petrol, diesel, kerosene, etc.] outside the GST system. This exception itself can be called profiteering, by the government itself. Also, this government has relentlessly increased both the retail prices of petrol and diesel, and also the cess/duty/excise/tax charged on these products in order to offset any fall in international crude prices, thus extracting more and more from pockets of the people. This is not just a clear case of profiteering, it is also tantamount to daylight theft. This is to be seen against the government's warnings to the public to not engage in profiteering post the rollout of GST. [link 1]
Similarly, governments and government officials should be automatically/harshly punished for doing or favoring things that they prohibit the general public from doing. And from publicly endorsing a position different from their private positions.
