Rs 1 cr excise evasion detected

Excise duty realisation worth Rs 4 lakh was done by the department from the companies, he said adding that out of the 11 companies, duty evasion of Rs 35 lakh was detected only from one company.

Total revenue collection by the department was Rs 506 crore till January 31 last year, Singh said. This year, the revenue collection has gone up and touched Rs 562 crore. “We are expecting a further hike in revenue collection. The rise in the revenue is only because of hard work of our staff,” he said adding that the duty evasion detection drive would continue in future too.
