Mary Kom not Tax-Free in UP
Posted: 09/08/2014 04:19 PM IST
Priyanka Chopra-starrer Mary Kom was declared tax-free in UP. So, if you were planning to go to Noida to watch the film at a cheaper price, then you may have to postpone your plans for another week as the movie is not yet tax-free 'on paper'. Because of the UP Assembly bypolls in Noida and 12 other seats in UP, cinemas are waiting for a letter from the State Election Commission to give permission to make the film tax-free, and until then, there is not going to be any change in ticket prices.
According to Yogesh Raizada, corporate head, Wave Cinemas, "There are 99% chances of Mary Kom being tax-free from next week. Had the election not been scheduled, we wouldn't have waited for the letter from the EC - we would have reduced the price the day the government declared it tax-free. We got a letter to make Mardani tax-free and its tickets are now 40% cheaper." On the condition of anonymity, a staff member of Big Cinemas, TGIP, said, "On Saturday, we got a letter from the state EC to remove entertainment tax from Mardani. For Mary Kom, we got no instruction from our Lucknow office or from the distributors. Because of the bypolls, everything has to come from the EC. We are expecting the film to be tax-free from the next week”.
