Tax experts are also drawing comfort from a healthy growth in refunds, which were estimated to have increased 17.3% to Rs 20,889 crore. On a net basis, collections were up 8.1% at Rs Rs 1,62,758 crore, official data showed.
“This year’s GST collection is almost on target and that is one of the reasons that the actual fiscal deficit for FY24-25 of 4.8% is estimated to be below the budgeted 4.9%. It is heartening to see that the growth of GST on imports is 7.2% only vis-a-vis growth in domestic GST Collection of 10.1%. If at all, It is an indication that India is getting more ‘Atmanirbhar’. Coupled with this, an increase of 15.8% in refunds (including export refunds) is a positive sign. It shows that now India is also increasingly ‘making for the world’. Overall, amidst geo-political headwinds, India seems to be managing well,” said Vivek Jalan, partner at Tax Connect Advisory Services.
Haryana and Tripura reported an increase of 20% and 21%, respectively. At the other end of the spectrum, Mizoram (-16%), Manipur (-9%) and J&K (-2%) were the laggards, while Telangana (1% increase), Gujarat (3%) and Andhra Pradesh (4%) reported a muted rise.
