Increased revenue: In just two months, one trillion and sixty-four billion dollars were collected.

Although the government has not been able to collect income in accordance with the target, there has been some improvement over the previous year.

The office of the Comptroller General reports that in the first two months of the current fiscal year 2081–82, revenue has been collected to the tune of one trillion 64 billion 60 million rupees. The General Account reports a 9.74 percent rise in income collection over the previous year.

Despite an improvement in revenue, it has not been able to meet the aim. Revenue collected up to the end of August of last year was one trillion 54 billion rupees; in the same period, it has already climbed by 10 billion rupees.

The government's revenue target for this year is 19 billion, 33 million, and 14 billion rupees. The current objective is lofty, as just 10 trillion 80 billion rupees were collected in the previous year.

In just two months, the government had already used 7.39 percent of the whole budget. Up till the end of August, 18 billion 60 billion 303 million rupees had been spent from the budget. Spending as of right now is 7.28 percent.

Just 82 billion 986 million rupees have been spent on operations, and 14 billion 894 million rupees have been spent on capital. The government has declared that this year's expenditures will rise in tandem with the rise in revenue collection. In addition, capital expenditures have gone up over the previous year.

On July 1, the Ministry of Finance issued guidelines to several ministries instructing them to pay a sum equal to the budget for the projects that have been finished. 14.89 billion rupees have been spent this year compared to 8.16 billion last year in terms of capital. Similar to how expenditures grew this year, only 87 billion 66 million rupees were spent during the same period last year.

The Ministry of Finance released 73-point guidelines in July to enhance the way budget expenditures and revenue collection are implemented in order to uphold financial governance. It has been reported that by cutting back on office expenses, the government has attempted to hold the appropriate authorities responsible for upholding financial governance.

In addition to ensuring that the budget is implemented effectively, the guidelines also address managing foreign-sourced, current, and capital expenses while keeping government office voluntary expenditures under control.

The released guidance is anticipated to have a favorable effect on a number of issues, including financial transparency, accountability, monitoring arrangements, program revision and reporting, program approval and budget allocation, program/plan transfer and implementation, budget expenditure, and the transfer of funds.

The Ministry of Finance has issued directions encouraging different agencies to boost the efficacy and efficiency of their spending while also adopting frugality in the use of the money that has been allotted. The Ministry of Finance has mandated that government entities get permission before buying new cars in an effort to curtail unnecessary spending.

The Ministry of Finance's previous approval is required if a new car needs to be bought in an emergency. It is strictly forbidden for employees to use excessive amounts of facilities without a need. The guidelines state that expenses related to allowances cannot be deducted as overtime, incentive payments, or other similar expenses.

Plans should be developed to carry out any capital project or program that is part of the budgets and programs at the provincial and local levels that is deemed necessary to be carried out by them via the appropriate office.
