GST mop-up hits record on good economic momentum, efficient collections: FM
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Wednesday said GST collection breached the Rs 2 lakh crore milestone on the back of strong economic momentum and efficient tax realisation. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the minister also lauded the efforts of the central and state officers of the revenue department and the Central Board of Indirect Taxes & Customs (CBIC) for their "sincere and collaborative efforts" in achieving this landmark. "GST collection crosses Rs 2 lakh crore benchmark, thanks to the strong momentum in the economy and efficient tax collections," she said. Goods and Services Tax collection grew 12.4 per cent to a record high of Rs 2.10 lakh crore in April, driven by increased domestic transactions and imports. The collection was Rs 1.87 lakh crore in April 2023. Out of the IGST collection, Rs 50,307 crore was settled towards CGST and Rs 41,600 crore towards SGST. This translates to a total revenue of Rs 94,153 crore for CGST and Rs 95,138 crore for SGST in April ..
