There is only one duty on mobile phone, which is duty of excise, called NCCD, which is equivalent to 1%. There
is also education cess @ 3 % on this 1%. Therefore, total duty on mobile phone is 1.03%. Further , mobile phone is charged excise duty @ 1.03% on its MRP price
( After abatement),if domestically produced. But, if mobile phone is imported than duty is calculated based on value ( Assessable value +customs duty) and abetted MRP value ( After abatement), which ever gives less duty.
