KATHMANDU: The Dryport Customs Office in Sirsiya, Birgunj, has seen a decline in revenue collection in the first five months of the current fiscal year compared to the same period last year.
The office collected Rs 19.78 billion so far, achieving 32.94 percent of its annual revenue target.
According to Office Chief Dhan Bahadur Baruwal, the decrease is primarily due to a drop in exports of foreign goods.
The highest revenue collection was recorded in the month of Asoj (September-October) at Rs 4.36 billion, while the lowest was in Mangsir (November-December), amounting to Rs 3.22 billion.
In comparison, the office had collected Rs 21.04 billion during the same period in the previous fiscal year.
