Govt Doubles Officials' Vehicle Allowance, Gives Buyers Zero Tax Relief — Fair?

Budget 2027 (announced 13 Nov) raises the monthly transport allowance for executive officers using personal vehicles on official duty from Rs 50,000 to Rs 100,000, and adds a 150% boost to the allowance for officials driving fully electric private vehicles from July 2027. At the same time, there's no cut to import duty or excise on cars, SUVs or bikes, so the Vehicle Importers' Association says prices won't fall, and plenty of buyers who held off hoping for relief are stuck with nothing. One side: real running costs (fuel, servicing, tyres) have gone up a lot since Rs 50,000 was set, officials deserve the adjustment, and pushing EVs through allowances is smart climate policy. The other side: it looks like the state is topping up its own people's car budgets while the ordinary buyer, already priced out, gets zero movement on tax. If you or someone you know gets this allowance, does it actually cover what you spend running your vehicle? And should doubling bureaucrats' allowance really come before any import relief for everyone else? මේකේ තියෙන අසමානකම ගැන ඔයාලගේ අදහස මොකක්ද?
