Explore new sources to boost revenue by simplifying rules, adopting tech: CM Yogi to officials

In the first quarter of the current fiscal, over Rs 51,000 crore has been received through various means. Of this, approximately Rs 28,000 crore came from GST/VAT, Rs 12,000 crore from excise tax, Rs 7,500 crore from stamp and registration, Rs 3,000 crore from transport, Rs 733 crore from energy, and over Rs 114 crore from land revenue. The collected amount will be utilized for the state’s development, public interest, and welfare projects, the CM said in the meeting.

“There are now more than 31 lakh GST-registered traders. This number should be increased further. We should also explore new sources to boost revenue collection by simplifying rules, adopting technology, and implementing reforms,” said Adityanath.

He said, “We must remain vigilant to prevent illicit liquor from other states from entering UP. The excise department is expected to make stronger efforts to meet the revenue collection targets.”

Adityanath added that problems between builders and buyers in Noida and Greater Noida should be “resolved swiftly”. “It is essential to protect the interests of every buyer and ensure that they receive the registry of their flats on time. Every necessary step must be taken to achieve this,” said the CM.
