Petrol-Diesel Rules: Fuel prices are rising due to the US and Iran, which is affecting the general public. Meanwhile, the government has implemented new rules regarding this.

Petrol-Diesel News: Fuel prices are rising due to the ongoing war between Iran and the US. Petrol and diesel prices have risen four times in the past month, significantly impacting the lives of ordinary people. Meanwhile, the central government has now changed the rules regarding petrol and diesel. Let's explore the changes these new rules will bring to the purchase of petrol and diesel.

New Petrol and Diesel Rules:
After raising the prices of petrol and diesel, the government has now also changed the rules for their purchase. Let's find out what the new rules mean:

• Industrial, commercial and institutional customers will now buy petrol and diesel from consumer pumps instead of petrol pumps.
• Petrol pumps will now dispense diesel only in vehicle tanks or in containers approved by PESO.
• A customer or a vehicle will not get more than 200 litres of diesel in a day.
• There will be no permission to buy diesel from the pump and sell it further.
• Oil companies and pump dealers will ensure compliance with these rules.

Violations of these rules will
result in punishment under the Essential Commodities Act 1955 and other applicable laws. For monitoring, gazetted officers of the central or state governments, police officers of DSP rank and above, and sales officers of oil companies have been granted search and seizure powers. State governments have been asked to take strict action against hoarding, black marketing, and diversion.

These new rules from the central government will not significantly impact
those who refuel their cars and bikes on a daily basis, as there are no restrictions on ordinary people. However, the 200-liter limit could be problematic for large buyers. This order is intended to curb large buyers who were taking advantage of the low prices and purchasing large quantities of fuel from pumps. The government's goal is to ensure that the common man continues to have access to fuel at the pumps and avoid shortages.
