Revenue collection drops in Bagmati province

KATHMANDU– The revenue collection under the heading of’real estate (house and land) registration’ and vehicle tax’ has dropped in the Bagmati province.

Real estate registration (land revenue) and vehicle tax are the main sources of revenue collection for the provincial government.

According to the chief of the Bagmati Province Treasury and Accounts Controller office, Hetauda, revenue of Rs 11.60 billion has been collected in the fiscal year 2080/81 BS. According to him, out of the target of collecting Rs 6.75 billion revenue from the real estate registration in the current fiscal year, about 81.32 percent, or Rs 5.48 billion, has been collected.
