Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, inaugurating the State Foundation Day Silver Jubilee celebrations, held a mega lucky draw under the “Bring a Bill, Get a Prize” campaign at the Secretariat on Friday. Organized by the Uttarakhand State Tax Department, a total of 1,888 lucky draw winners were selected in this event. Sonia from Nainital district and Jaspal Rawat from Tehri district each won an electric car as the first winners. The Chief Minister spoke with both winners over the phone and congratulated them. The Chief Minister stated that the “Bring a Bill, Get a Prize” scheme will continue in the state. This innovation has given a new impetus and energy to the state’s revenue collection. Launched in 2022, this scheme attempts to directly integrate public participation into the tax system. Under this scheme, transactions worth ₹263 crore were uploaded by people through 650,000 bills. This has fostered a culture of tax compliance among the business community and led to a steady increase in the state’s revenue. This scheme has become a powerful tool for consumer awareness and a symbol of shared responsibility. Prizes Won
