BIRGUNJ: The Dry Port Customs Office in Sirsia has reported a significant decline in revenue collection for the first six months of the current fiscal year, accumulating only Rs 23.34 billion. This figure represents just 38.87 percent of the office’s annual target.
The revenue collection has fallen by Rs 1.45 billion compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year, during which Rs 24.79 billion was collected.
Monthly breakdowns show fluctuating revenue figures, with Rs 3.75 billion collected in Shrawan, Rs 4.64 billion in Bhadra, Rs 4.36 billion in Rs, NPR 3.79 billion in Kartik, Rs 3.23 billion in Mangsir, and Rs 3.56 billion in Poush.
Officials cite reduced imports, ongoing economic challenges, and other market conditions as potential reasons for the drop in revenue.
This sharp decline in performance underscores the challenges faced by customs offices in meeting their fiscal targets.
