India’s economy has showcased a resolute and encouraging momentum, characterized by a formidable upsurge in GST collections, an impressive 7.2% expansion in FY23 GDP, the astute acquisition of discounted oil imports amid the backdrop of the Ukraine conflict, a substantial surge in seafood exports, a projected inflation rate of 5.1% for FY24, and the diligent oversight of inflation and growth prospects by the unwavering Monetary Policy Committee.
GST Collection Expands 12% y-o-y in May
The Goods and Services Tax (GST) collection in May this year climbed 12% year-on-year (y-o-y) to ₹1.57 lakh crore, marking the fifth time the collection has breached the ₹1.5 lakh crore-mark since its inception in July ’17.
The May GST collection is slightly higher than expected, marking the 14th consecutive month that the monthly collection has surpassed the ₹1.4 lakh crore-mark. In May of the previous year, the GST revenue stood at ₹1.41 lakh crore.
Given the steady collection trend in the last nearly one-and-a-half years, there is a high possibility of GST mop-ups ranging between ₹ 1.55 lakh crore and ₹ 1.65 lakh crore over the next few months.
In May, the Central GST (CGST) stood at ₹ 28,411 crore, while State GST (SGST) and Integrated GST (IGST) amounted to ₹35,828 crore and ₹81,363 crore, respectively. The cess collected was ₹11,489 crore, which includes ₹1,057 crore collected on the import of goods.
“During May, revenue from import of goods was 12% higher and revenue from domestic transactions (including import of services) was 11% higher than revenue from these sources during the same month last year,” the Finance Ministry said.
In terms of volume, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu registered the highest collections.
