In budget 2017-18, the government has levied 2 percent SAD on PCBs

The PCBs make up a significant part of the mobile phone's cost

The move is likely to affect mobile phone prices which may rise

Not only mobiles, even LED TVs, washing machines, calculators, computer components etc which use PCBs would go up in cost.
