"The total tax revenue collected up to December this year is Rs 9.5 lakh crore, 66 per cent of the Budget Estimates," Revenue Secretary Hasmukh Adhia tweeted.
The government had budgeted to collect Rs 7.97 lakh crore from direct taxes and Rs 6.47 lakh crore in indirect taxes in the current fiscal.
Adhia said that the government collected Rs 2,428 crore in taxes under the black money disclosure window.
"The amount collected under black money disclosure is Rs 2,428 crore (97 per cent of amount due) by December 31, which was the last date of payment," Adhia said.
