Karachi: Caretaker Sindh Chief Minister Maqbool Baqar has commended the Sindh Revenue Board (SRB) for its outstanding fiscal achievement, revealing a notable 22% growth compared to the corresponding period in 2022 (Dec 2022), as reported by a news source on January 2.
According to the details, this figure represents a record revenue collection of PKR 21.3 billion in December 2023. During the initial six months of the fiscal year 2023-24, the SRB has amassed an impressive total of PKR 108.6 billion.
This marks a significant 35% increase from the PKR 80.2 billion collected in the same period of the previous financial year, highlighting the SRB’s unwavering commitment to fiscal excellence, even in the face of challenging economic conditions.
CM Baqar attributed this remarkable success to the continued trust and cooperation of SRB taxpayers, emphasising the relentless efforts put forth by the SRB officers and staff. Despite adverse factors such as low economic growth, reduced economic activity, and a stagnant tax base, the SRB remains focused on achieving its assigned revenue target of PKR 235 billion for the fiscal year 2023-24.
