During the meeting, the Chief Secretary gave an overview of the best practices implemented by the department which had resulted in increased revenue to the government.
He stated that under the leadership of Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao, who also holds the Commercial Tax portfolio, the revenue of the State through commercial tax department has grown exponentially from around Rs.23,000 crores in 2014 to around Rs.65,000 crores last year which is around three times more. The tax payer base has also been expanded substantially.

The UP officials said that it was a great learning experience for them to know about the best practices of the state which they hoped that they could be implemented in their state as well.
