What is GST Collection?

GST Collection refers to the total amount of revenue collected by the central and state governments through the GST system. It includes:

account_balance

CGST

Collected by the Centre on intra-state supplies

location_city

SGST

Collected by states on intra-state supplies

swap_horiz

IGST

Collected by the Centre on inter-state and import transactions

monetization_on

Cess

India's State-wise Year-wise GST Collection (2020–2025)

India's GST revenue has seen significant growth from FY 2020–21 to FY 2023–24, reflecting the country's economic recovery and improved compliance. However, FY 2024–25 shows a decline in collection figures so far, likely influenced by broader economic factors or policy adjustments. Major contributing states like Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Gujarat consistently top the charts, while Union Territories and North-Eastern states contribute modestly but steadily. The data includes collections from domestic sources and imports.

Key Highlights:
  • Highest GST Contributor: Maharashtra across all years.
  • Consistent Growth: Karnataka, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, and Haryana.
  • Moderate Performers: Rajasthan, Punjab, and West Bengal.
  • Low Contribution Regions: Lakshadweep, Daman & Diu, and Ladakh.

3

IGST collected on imports significantly boosts overall GST collection.

4

Sector-wise Performance

Performance in manufacturing, telecom, e-commerce, and real estate sectors heavily influences collection patterns.

5

Seasonality & Festive Demand

Months like October to December usually show spikes due to festive sales.

6

State-Level Governance

Efficient state tax administration (as seen in Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh) leads to higher compliance and improved collection.

computer Wider Adoption of Digital Compliance

E-invoicing and GSTN integrations bring more vendors into the formal economy.

sync_alt Improved Reconciliation Tools
