The state's own revenue had reached ₹ 67,235 crore as of December 10 this financial year. It is around half of the target of ₹ 1,34,208 crore for the eight-month period. December is drawing to a close. Once that month is finished, three quarters of the financial year will be completed.
Finance department officials have asked the district administrations to enhance own revenues in the final quarter, January to March. The collectors were provided with data related to revenue generated by each department in every district, previous period collections and areas where higher revenue is possible.
Reviewing the financial year in blocks of three months and analysing it into four quarters, the first two quarters' revenue was higher compared to the previous year. In November, collections dropped 2 percent due to the impact of GST 2.0. Until early December, all departments, with the exception of mines and mineral resources, gave revenues that were on target. Registration revenue was in excess of the target. As of end November, overall revenue reached 110% of target.
