Bogor, West Java (ANTARA News) - The National Tithe Collecting Agency (Baznas) has this year received only Rp1.3 trillion in tithes (zakat) out of a target of Rp2 trillion, Baznas Chairman Didin Hafidhuddin said.

"This is only a preliminary amount as Baznas has set a target of Rp2 trillion," Didin said after receiving tithes from President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono at the latter`s residence here Saturday.

The figure showed that not all the tithes that should have been paid had been collected. The amount had now reached Rp1.3 trillion, said Didin who remained optimistic that Baznas would meet the target. (source)
