July GST collections up 15.4% to Rs 2.1 L cr on higher imports
GST collections rose 15.4% to Rs 2,11,205 crore in July, the second highest since the new structure was implemented last September.
A 29% jump in integrated GST (IGST) on imports drove the collections, attributed to higher crude and commodity prices amid the West Asia conflict.
Central GST mop-up increased 12.3% to just under Rs 40,000 crore, while state GST grew 8.7% to nearly Rs 48,000 crore.
Net collections after refunds (up 13% to nearly Rs 30,000 crore) rose 15.8% to Rs 1,81,237 crore.
Haryana logged the highest growth of 28%, followed by Gujarat, Puducherry, Karnataka, Goa, and Maharashtra, while Chhattisgarh saw a 23% fall.
