The State government realised ₹5,218 crore in the last two months against the originally-anticipated amount of ₹22,255 crore. As per the budget estimates of the State government, the revenue through State Own Taxes is around ₹1,33,530 crore for the year 2020-21. In other words, the monthly average comes to ₹11,127.5 crore.
