Nevertheless, the Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman says that she would not be able to slash excise duties anytime soon quoting the load of UPA-era oil bonds. She declared that the Union government has to assume the liability of payments in lieu of oil bonds issued by the UPA government to subsidize fuel prices and a substantial amount of money is going for interest payment and principal settlement.
The truth is even the NDA government under Atal Bihari Vajpayee also issued oil bonds.
