29 February 2016 Can anybody tell me the link of notification of increase of excise duty rate on aerated water which is increased in today's budget. I am not able to find it.
If anybody finds it please copy paste the link here.

or other sweetening matter or flavoured” falling under Chapter sub-heading 2202 10 is being
increased from 18% to 21%. Clause 143 (i) of the Finance Bill refers. By virtue of
declaration under the Provisional Collection of Taxes Act, 1931, this increase will come into
force with immediate effect.

04 March 2016 Thank you sir. But I wanted to know whether there is a specific excise notification for this rate change or this change is effective from the finance bill itself?

19 July 2025 Yes — this rate increase came into effect directly via the Finance Bill 2016, using Clause 143(i), and was enforced immediately under the Provisional Collection of Taxes Act, 1931. The change covers “waters, including mineral waters and aerated waters, containing added sugar or other sweetening matter or flavoured” (Chapter 22.02 items), increasing the excise duty from 18% to 21%
