Centre, states collect a record ā¹1.68 trillion in GST in Aprilš
Central and state governments collected a record ā¹1.68 trillion in goods and services tax in April, aided by a spurt in economic activity in March and steps taken to improve tax compliance.
The improvement in GST revenue collection is good news for policymakers as it eases the pressure on revenue mobilization through non-tax measures such as divestment and proves to be a relief to state governments, which are likely to lose GST compensation from July.
The gross goods and services tax collection in April at ā¹1.68 trillion is about ā¹26,000 crores more than the previous best of ā¹1.42 trillion reported in March, the finance ministry said. It is also 20% more than the GST collected a year ago.
