Why is Parachute coconut oil not a hair oil?

@factkeeps

We all think that our parachute oil is hair oil, but the company doesn't show it as hair oil.

@factkeeps

As per the Central Excise Tariff Act 1985, hair oil is liable to pay an 8% excise duty but edible oil is free from excise duty.

@factkeeps

Marico the maker of parachute oil said that they are selling edible oil, not hair oil.

@factkeeps

After surveying tax authorities said that customers use parachute as hair oil.

@factkeeps

Marico said that this is not their issue, what customers did with the product. Their oil is edible and pure.

@factkeeps

The Tribunal gives the decision in favor of Marico. This is a fine example of saving tax.
