Alcohol filled the treasury of this state

Jharkhand Revenue Update: Jharkhand's Excise Department has achieved a major milestone, collecting its highest revenue ever in the financial year 2025-26. The department collected a record ₹4,013 crore during this period, significantly exceeding the previous figure of approximately ₹2,700 crore. This is now being seen as a sign of the state's strong financial position.

Why is this achievement special?

According to the Public Relations Department, this achievement is being described as historic. It demonstrates the improved functioning, stricter monitoring, and stronger administrative systems implemented within the department.

Strict action against illegal liquor

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

• Let us tell you that strict monitoring is being done on illegal construction, sale and transportation.
• Along with this, continuous raids and many campaigns were carried out.
• Joint action was taken in different areas.
• Due to this, revenue loss was stopped to a great extent.

Technology also benefited

Digital systems have also played a significant role in this success. Liquor is now fully tracked, from production to the stores.

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

The collection also increased due to the new policy.

The government's new excise policy has also helped in this as...

• License fees and charges were changed.
• The process of allotting shops has now become clearer and more open.
• This increased the participation of more people.
• These changes led to further growth in revenue.

Now, the department says this record collection will allow more funds to be invested in the state's development and planning. Officials expect this growth to continue in the future.
