The Revenue Investigation Department, which has the main responsibility of controlling revenue leakage, has filed 56 cases in various districts and high courts with the demand of Rs.

The Revenue Research Department has released its semi-annual progress report up to the end of December, and the department has collected more than two and a half million rupees as fines from various companies and firms during this period of the current year. During this period, the department fined 736 companies. There is a legal provision to file cases in the High Court regarding revenue leakage and in the District Court regarding foreign exchange. 

The information officer of the department, Navraj Adhikari, said that during this period, complaints were not included in the details of the incidents which are under investigation. During this period, a bail of Rs. Some of the cases related to the bail are pending in the court. According to the department, some amount of the bond is in the process of being paid by the business firm.

It is mentioned in the details issued by the department that a case has been filed in the High Court with a demand of Rs. Only 20 cases have been registered for revenue evasion. Officials say that 36 cases have been filed in different districts with a demand of 2 billion 36 crore 14 lakh 50 thousand 69 rupees for misappropriation of foreign currency. 58 people have been made defendants in foreign currency misappropriation. 

There is a legal system that can fine up to 300 percent for misappropriation of foreign currency. Only 678.7 million 15 thousand 23 rupees were lost in currency misappropriation. As 300% penalty was imposed, the amount increased threefold. The department mainly investigates the cases of police arrests and surrenders, raids, vehicle tracking, VAT evasion and various complaints and ascertains whether there is any leakage or not.

The official said that the firm was fined for not using the 'Vehicle Consent Tracking System' while transporting merchandise from one location to another.

The director general of the department has the authority to fine those who do not use the vehicle tracking system for the first time 50,000 and those who do not use it for the second time 1 lakh. Officials say that 276,000 taxpayers across the country are using the 'tracking system'.  Officials said that the

revenue only disposed of 47 percent of complaints during the half-year period. There are revenue offices in Itahari, Pathalaiya, Butwal and Kohalpur under the department. There is a legal provision that all the cases advanced by these offices can be registered in the High Court only with the permission of the Director General of the Department.

In the case of revenue evasion, there was a provision that the director general of the department could not prosecute the case for revenue evasion up to 50 lakhs including fines and fines. But the government has recently published a notice in the gazette and has brought a provision that the Director General may not pursue a case of up to 3 crores with a fine of one and a half crores and 100%.

The government's Ordinance on Improving the Economic and Business Environment and Enhancing Investment has repealed the old legal system. The department registered in the district and recently moved the high court and the new cases registered in the high court have not been effective in controlling revenue leakage.

Many cases the government loses and even from the cases it wins, only a very small amount of revenue comes in the form of revenue. That's why the revenue officer says that a provision has been made to not prosecute if the businessmen pay fines and fines of up to three crores in cash.
