As per available figures, net direct tax collection during the fiscal 2008-09 stands at Rs.338,212 crore, up from Rs.312,202 crore during 2007-08, registering a growth of 8.33%.

This amount consists of tax arrears of Rs.10,016 crore and current tax of Rs.21,226 crore.
Collection of direct taxes has more than tripled from Rs.1,05,088 crore in 2003-04 to Rs.3,38,212 crore in 2008-09 at an average annual growth of 26.75% against an average annual growth rate of 18.86% between 1990-91 to 2001-02. Direct tax as%age of GDP stands at 6.23%, a marginal decline from 6.61% achieved during 2007-08. However, direct tax to GDP ratio has increased from 3.81% in 2003-04 to 6.23% in 2008-09 as compared to increase from 2.10% in 1990-91 to 3.03% in 2001-02, contributing over 55% of central tax revenues. The cost of collection, which increased to 0.66% during 2008-09 from 0.54% during 2007-08, still remains one of the lowest in the world.
