With only 2 months left to the end of the financial year, the Sirsia Dry Port Customs Office is finding it difficult to meet its revenue targets. After collecting less revenue in the last 2 months than the previous month, it seems impossible for this customs to meet the revenue collection target for the current financial year.
Customs has been able to collect only 84.76 percent of the target revenue in the month of Baisakh. In this month, the target of revenue collection is 5 billion 1265 million rupees, but only 4 billion 35 million rupees have been collected.
In the month of March, this customs was able to collect only 84.89 percent of the target revenue. In this month, the revenue collection target was 5.3 billion 49 lakh rupees, but only 4.5 billion 69 lakh rupees was collected.
Overall, by the end of May of the current year, the target is to collect 49.21 billion rupees in revenue, but only 83.68 percent of the target, i.e. 41.18 billion rupees, has been collected.
In the months of February and January, the customs collected about 93 percent of the monthly target revenue. In February, 4.68 billion rupees were collected against the target of 5.7 billion rupees for revenue collection. In January, the revenue collection target was 4.62 billion rupees, but 4.29 billion rupees was collected.
For the current year, this customs has got a revenue collection target of 60 billion 4 million rupees. By the month of Baisakh, only 68.58 percent of the annual target has been collected by the customs.
In the period up to May of last year, this customs collected revenue of 40 billion 3 million rupees. Comparatively speaking, this customs has collected 1 billion 42 crore rupees more revenue in the month of May of the current year compared to the period up to the month of May of the last year.
Customs Chief Dhan Bahadur Baruwal says that the revenue collection target has increased in the months of Chait and Baisakh compared to the previous months. He said that even if the target is increased, if the import and export trade does not increase accordingly, it will have a direct impact on revenue collection.
The items that contribute the most to the revenue collection of the customs are iron products, alcohol and coal, and since the import of these items is decreasing, it has a negative impact on the revenue collection, he said.
