Additionally, it is the fourth time since the implementation of GST in the country that gross revenue has surpassed the INR 1.6 trillion mark. The ministry reported that the average monthly gross GST collections for the first quarter of FY 2021-22, FY 22-23, and FY 23-24 were INR 1.10 trillion, INR 1.51 trillion, and INR 1.69 trillion, respectively.

Experts said that GST collections in June had surpassed expectations, and the settlement of GST law, amnesty scheme, and anti-evasion drive is yielding desired results. Additionally, strengthening the Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) system and generating various discrepancy reports benefits the trade and authorities.
