Duty on tooth brushes remain at 8% - DDT blunders – and gets a bash
It had to happen. DDT is at the receiving end of the bashing! It was a blunder when DDT reported that the duty on tooth brushes has been increased to 16%. The fact is that the duty remains at 8%. An alert and angry netizen wrote in,
In budget analysis you have highlighted the fact that duty on toothbrush has increased to 16% which is incorrect. The statement has been made without verifying the other notifications. Such a silly error was shocking and was really disappointing for us.
No excuses, no justification – it was a plain silly error as pointed out by the netizen. DDT apologises for the lapse and whole heartedly thanks the kind netizen for taking the trouble of giving us the well deserved kick.
