The daily monitoring of tax and non-tax revenue collections will help in timely corrective actions, sources said.
The ministry has also asked the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) and Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) to report latest figures.
Disinvestment receipts would also have to be reported on a daily basis, as per the memorandum.
