Capt. Abhimanyu, who was interacting with mediapersons here, said that the adoption of e-tendering system has considerably increased the revenue. The state is expected to achieve a growth of about 11 to 12 per cent in revenue from auction of vends, said he.
The Minister said that all services of the Excise and Taxation Department had been made online and all permits were being given through online mode. The new experiments initiated in the system have yielded encouraging results, he claimed.
He said that for the first time, Government had decided to invite bids for wholesale licenses for supply of Imported Foreign liquor (Bottled in Origin) in the state to tap the optimum potential of Government revenue. The Government got revenue of more than Rs 62.5 crore as against the revenue of Rs 27 crore generated during last year.
