UP clocks 97% of last year's revenue in July, signals stabilising of finances after 3-month hit due to Covid

The state collected revenue worth Rs 10,675 crore in July this year, against a collection of Rs 10,926.36 crore in the same month last year, reflecting a drop of only 2.3% in an adverse economic environment created due to halting of non-essential economic activities during the months that the country saw a complete lockdown.
