Just when we were wondering about when Apple would launch a low-cost iPhone, Apple raised the prices of most of its phones in India by Rs 1,300 due to the new Basic Customs Duty (BCD) rate.
As per a report by The Economic Times, the basic customs duty (BCD) rate was announced during the recent union budgets along with the withdrawal of earlier exemption from BCD under the Social Welfare Surcharge.
