Finance, Planning, Excise and Taxation Minister Harpal Cheema today announced that the state has, for the first time, surpassed the Rs 30,000-crore mark in revenue collection from VAT, CST, GST, PSDT and excise within the first nine months of a fiscal year.

In the current fiscal year, the total revenue received from these taxes up to December is Rs 31,156.31 crore, whereas in 2023-24, the total revenue collection from these taxes was Rs 27,927.31 crore. He said the state also witnessed a significant increase in its net GST and excise revenue for December 2024 compared to December 2023.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
