The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust has paid about Rs 400 crore in taxes to the government over the past five years, amid a surge in religious tourism, Trust Secretary Champat Rai said on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Trust Secretary Champat Rai said the amount was paid between February 5, 2020 and February 5, 2025.<\/p>\n
Of this, Rs 270 crore was paid as goods and services tax (GST), while the remaining Rs 130 crore was paid under various other tax categories, he said.<\/p>\n
Ayodhya has witnessed a tenfold increase in devotees and tourists, transforming it into a major religious tourism hub, and generating employment opportunities for locals, he said, adding that during the Maha Kumbh 1.26 crore devotees visited Ayodhya.<\/p>\n
In the last year, Ayodhya recorded 16 crore visitors, with 5 crore visiting the Ram temple.<\/p>\n
The trust’s financial records are regularly audited by officials from the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG), Rai added.<\/p>\n
