Revenue-expenditure budgets 447

Budget - 1359, Notes on Revenue.

1. Oil Royalty. Its 30,00,000.
The royalty on oil is estimated ut the eamo amount
us in lust year’s budget which is Rs 2,00,000/- less than
the uotuul umount received in 1350,

Rs 16,00,000/- is due to the government at the end
of March 1940 for the six months which ended on 31-12-1939.
I have assumed that during the first half of 1940 produc­
tion will be maintained.
2. Customs Receipts, Rs 7,00,000/-.

Last year a serious deorease in the customs rovenuo
was anticipated. The actual decrease was only Rs 60,000/-.
Total revenue from customs sources last your was ks 10,28,000/-,
but owing to the uncertainty of trude and war conditions I
urn not ussuming on more than Rs 7,00,000/- from the customs.
3o Passport Receipts. Rs 10,000/-.

Passport receipts last your produced Rs 18,000/- but
this income will not be maintained. Strioter enforcement
of regulations, especially in the oase of Persians resident
in Bahrain and the cancelling of steamer passes for visitors
to mail boats will reduce this source of revenue very

considerably.
4. Judicial Receipts. Rs 8,000/-.
There is no basis on which to estimate this revenue
whioh depends upon the type of cases made in the courts.
5. Motor Vehicle Taxes. Rs 25,000/-.

The revenue laot year was lU 28,000/-. a. reduction
in the number of tax paying oars on the roads has been
anticipated.
