Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma on Wednesday said the state government intends to amend the excise rules in a bid to increase revenue generation of the department.
Conrad, who chaired the state cabinet meeting, said the ministers decided to meet again on Thursday to discuss and consider several suggestions pertaining to the matter.
"We have taken a decision to go with the concept but there were more suggestions that came in and these will now be incorporated in the amendment and brought before the cabinet tomorrow for its approval," he said.
Declining to elaborate further, the chief minister however said, "The new provisions will be inserted with an objective to increase the revenue collection and if it happens, we will see a significant jump in revenue of the excise department."
