India sees Rs 1.96 trillion GST collection in October amid festive demand
Nov 02, 2025
India collected Rs 1.96 trillion (£16.76 billion) in gross Goods and Services Tax (GST) in October, about 5 per cent higher than the same month last year, the government said in a statement on Saturday.
After refunds, the government’s net tax collections stood at Rs 1.69 trillion (£14.45 billion), which is 0.6 per cent more than in October 2024, it said.
The government recently reduced taxes on several goods, including shampoo and small cars. The tax cuts took effect from September 22, coinciding with the start of the festival season in India.
