The government stands to make over Rs 40,000 crore. Are you surprised at these numbers? A: To be honest, no I think the expectation was any way about 2 times which is about Rs 7000 crore to Rs 7500 crore was expected anyway I mean at a minimum. But yes Rs 10,000 crore is surprising because most people would have been probably comfortable with Rs 8000 plus crore or around that. But Rs 10,000 crore is sort of stretching. So, yes I am a bit surprised in terms of it having crossed the Rs 10,000 crore mark.
