The Growth of the Tamil Nadu and Puducherry collection is at 28 %. The region has been given the target of 17% but the income tax collection growth is another 11% because the states economy is doing well and tax collection is really good. Though we have been given the target of 1,08,000 crore, we are planning to touch 1,25,000 crore and it will be the highest target the region has ever achieved. We managed to touch 1 lakh crore collection last year, he said.
