Chandigarh, Aug 27 (UNI) Haryana Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala informed that State Excise Department has recorded highest revenue collection during COVID-19.
Prior to this, the Excise Department had never collected such high amount of revenue in the first quarter of the year, Mr Chautala said while interacting with mediapersons at Haryana Niwas here on Thursday.
The Deputy Chief Minister, who holds the portfolio of Excise and Taxation Department, said that Haryana's Excise Department has made a new record in the Excise Duty Collection. He said that neither the rail service nor the multi-national companies were functioning due to the lockdown and COVID-19. In such a situation, increasing revenue was the biggest challenge for the Excise Department.
