Indian administration
India. A local government official who apparently can issue orders for the release of people interned in refugee camps. Hardly compatible with tax collecting!
However, the previous lines mention a "tahsildar", i.e., "a collector for, or official of, the revenue department."

Receveur
In France the official who used to be known as "le percepteur" (tax collector) now has the grand title of Receveur. I am sure an Indian official would love being addressed as "Receveur Régional" or something similar. The basic meaning is the same as "collector". Just a suggestion.
I often translate Letters from Indian officials to Partage (a French NGO) and the number of titles is amazing.
