$300m collected as tax so far

The Amnesty Scheme has led to attracting a modest amount of US$ 300 million so far. The governor of State Bank of Pakistan has been quoted as saying that so far $ 300 million as tax have been received under the Tax Amnesty Scheme launched on April 10, 2018 to legalize undisclosed assets and income of Pakistanis held abroad and home.

Isn’t the amount collected so far much below the government estimates? US$ 300 million cannot be described as $ 3 to 4 billion under any circumstances.
