"We will come out with the Revised Estimates. “We are working towards our revenue targets. And we are very confident of meeting the fiscal deficit target," Finance Secretary Sumit Bose told reporters in New Delhi.
The fiscal deficit was 4.9 per cent of GDP in 2012-13.
Bose said Rs 7,700-crore (Rs 77-billion) worth declaration has come under the service tax amnesty scheme.
The Voluntary Compliance Encouragement Scheme that was launched on May 10, 2013 to enable service tax defaulters to pay dues without penalty or late payment charges, closed on December 31.
An addition of Rs 7,700 crore (Rs 77 billion) in the kitty will provide some relief to the government which aims to collect Rs 1.80 lakh crore (Rs 1.8 trillion)
