KARACHI: The Sindh Revenue Board (SRB) collection rose 13.66 per cent to Rs88.542 billion during the first nine months (July-March) of this fiscal year compared to Rs77.902bn collected in the same period last year.
In March alone, its collection stood 22.7pc higher at Rs11.463bn from Rs9.343bn in the corresponding month last year.
The SRB needs to generate Rs46.5bn more in the last quarter (April-June) to achieve the Rs135bn target set by Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah for 2020-21, but government sources said it would be a difficult task in view of surging Covid-19 cases, which have already drawn stringent measures to avoid a complete lockdown.
