"The revenue board offices did not remained closed for a single day while the revenue collection as well as the number of returns increased in that period since all tax related services remained open," he added.

Alamgir also opined that the revenue collection increased due to strict monitoring and some legal changes in realizing tax at source.

He said, "Since it has been made mandatory to submit returns by all TIN holders, the number of submission of tax returns increased in the last year. Besides, awareness has been created among people in submitting returns and we're getting its benefits,"

The number of TIN holders in the country is 56 lakh. The revenue collection in the last fiscal year (FY21) totaled 2.60 lakh crore which is also 20 percent higher than the FY20 when the revenue collection totaled Taka 2,16,540 crore.
