New Delhi: India’s economic engine showed robust signs of acceleration as the gross GST (Goods and Services Tax) collection surged by 9.9% in March 2025, crossing ₹1.96 lakh crore, according to data released by the Finance Ministry on Tuesday.
The GST revenue from domestic transactions rose by 8.8% to ₹1.49 lakh crore, while revenue from imported goods jumped 13.56% to ₹46,919 crore, contributing significantly to the overall boost.
After adjusting for refunds amounting to ₹19,615 crore (a 41% increase from the previous year), the net GST revenue for March 2025 stood at over ₹1.76 lakh crore, marking a 7.3% year-on-year rise.
Upward Trend Continues
This steady growth aligns with the trend seen in the previous months:
• February 2025 GST collection: ₹1.83 lakh crore (9.1% year-on-year increase)
• January 2025 GST collection: ₹1.96 lakh crore
Officials attribute the continued rise to enhanced compliance, better tax administration, and increased consumption.
