When Octroi ( Choongi ) Abolished in Punjab Why it Continues on Petrol And Electricity ?

Jalandhar Thinkers are discussing that when Octroi ( Choongi ) has been abolished in Punjab ( substituted by VAT  ) why is it being continued to be levied on Petrol ( urban areas only ) and on Electricity ( again Urban areas only ).

In Punjab Urban Consumers of petrol are paying both Octroi ( Choongi ) and additional VAT ( part of which is supposed to be lieu of Choongi )

DOUBLE WHAMMY !!!
