Jharkhand Revenue Update: In a major achievement, the Excise Department of Jharkhand has collected the highest ever revenue in the financial year 2025-26. The department made a record collection of Rs 4013 crore during this period, which is much more than the earlier figure of around Rs 2700 crore. Now this is also being considered as a sign of strengthening the economic condition of the state.

Why is this achievement special?

According to the Public Relations Department, this achievement is being described as historic. This shows that better functioning, strict monitoring and strong administrative systems have been implemented in the department.

Effect of strictness on illicit liquor

The biggest reason for increase in revenue has been strict action against illegal liquor.

• Let us tell you that strict monitoring has been kept on illegal construction, sale and transport.
• Also, continuous raids and many operations were conducted.
• Joint action was taken in different areas.
• Due to this, the loss of revenue stopped to a great extent.

Technology also benefited

Besides, digital system has also played a big role in this success. Now complete tracking of liquor is being done from production to shops.

• The entire supply system has now become more clear and understandable.
• Surveillance has increased at every step.
• Besides, the opportunities for doing wrong things have also reduced.

Collection increased due to new policy

The new excise policy of the government has also helped in this like…

• License fees and charges were changed.
• The process of giving shops has now become more clean and open.
• This increased the participation of more people.
• Due to these changes, revenue increased further.

Now the department says that with this record collection, more money can be invested in the development and schemes of the state. Along with this, officials are hoping that this growth will continue in the coming time.
