SC Upholds Constitutionality of Entry Tax

In a landmark move, a nine-Judge-bench of the Supreme Court of India has upheld the constitutionality of entry tax. As per SC, protection under Article 301 does not apply to taxes. Revenue of over Rs 30,000-35,000 crore per annum for state governments is at stake on account of the litigation by companies on entry taxes which is levied by a host state on entry of goods into that state.
