Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that it is necessary to increase revenue to bring economy back on track. Therefore, ministers should conduct review with departmental officers every week to improve the current status of generated revenue. He was reviewing revenue receipts from his home through video conferencing on Thursday.
 
He sought information about the generated revenue in a review meeting held through video-conference mode on Thursday. He underlined that under the circumstances of COVID-19, it is necessary to increase revenue in various heads with the aim of restoring the economy. He directed that Bhamashah Scheme of honouring honest tax payers should be started again.
 
Last year, many taxpayers have been discouraged due to this scheme being ignored. Honouring taxpayers inspires all classes to pay their taxes. He said that this scheme should be effectively implemented from this year itself. There will be a meeting again after a fortnight to review the revenue generated in the State. He also sought detailed information about the receipt of taxes related to the departments of commercial tax, excise, forest, mineral, energy, transport, stamp and registration etc. He also said that legal action should be taken against tax evaders. He said that every effort should be made to collect revenue.
