June’s Goods and Services Tax (GST) collection in India exceeded ₹1.85 lakh crore, marking a 6.2% increase compared to the same period last year. This data from official sources highlights a robust performance, although it represents a decrease from May’s ₹2.01 lakh crore. The April 2025 collection, which peaked at ₹2.37 lakh crore, remains a record. Growth was observed in Central-GST, State-GST, Integrated-GST, and cess collections. While overall growth appears muted, regions such as Nagaland, Sikkim, Tripura, Lakshadweep, and Ladakh showed significant expansion, indicating increased consumer activity and government infrastructure spending. India’s GST system achieved a milestone in the 2024-25 fiscal year with a gross collection of ₹22.08 lakh crore, representing a 9.4% growth. The average monthly GST collection reached a record ₹1.84 lakh crore since GST’s inception in 2017. GST collections have risen steadily from ₹11.37 lakh crore in 2020-21 to ₹20.18 lakh crore in 2023-24. As of April 30, 2025, over 1.51 crore entities are registered under GST. These figures reflect a positive trajectory for the Indian economy, demonstrating strong domestic consumption and import activity, and resilience amidst global uncertainties. The GST was implemented on July 1, 2017, with a five-year compensation guarantee for states.
