GST Collection for November Rises by 8.5% to ₹1.82 Trillion

India’s Goods and Services Tax (GST) revenue rose by 8.5% to ₹1.82 lakh crore in November 2024, compared to ₹1.68 lakh crore in the same month last year. The growth is primarily driven by higher revenues from domestic transactions, with GST from domestic transactions increasing by 9.4%. This increase is significant, though it follows a previous high of ₹1.87 lakh crore in October, which marked the second-best collection in GST history. In April 2024, India recorded its highest-ever GST collection of over ₹2.10 lakh crore.
