"All the departments should achieve the target that the departments have got for each month for revenue receipts, only then they will be able to achieve the annual target of revenue receipt. Departments need to do more work on online systems to achieve revenue targets. Special attention should be paid to increasing the revenue receipts from GST.

The Chief Minister instructed the officers that work should be done in a planned manner to achieve the revenue targets and said that the achievement of revenue targets would be reviewed every month.
"All departments should work in coordination for increasing the revenue. In areas where revenue is not being received as per expectation, the reasons for this should be studied deeply and a suitable solution should be found.

Attention should be paid in this direction to the departments which have to make the recovery of the previous years in different areas," he said.
