As of December 2024, India's monthly GST collection averages approximately ₹1.70-1.87 lakh crore. The all-time record is ₹2.10 lakh crore (April 2024 — boosted by year-end filings). Regular months (non-year-end) typically range between ₹1.65-1.85 lakh crore. The total for FY 2024-25 (April-December) is approximately ₹15.34 lakh crore, on track for ~₹20.5 lakh crore full year. Growth rate: ~10% year-over-year, driven by formalization, anti-evasion measures, and economic expansion.
Maharashtra consistently leads with ~15% of total GST revenue (~₹26,000 Cr/month). This is due to: (1) Mumbai/JNPT port — largest IGST collections from imports, (2) Financial capital — banking, insurance, corporate headquarters, (3) Manufacturing — auto, chemicals, pharma. Karnataka ranks #2 (~10%, ~₹17,500 Cr/month) driven by Bengaluru's IT/services sector. Gujarat and Tamil Nadu follow at ~8% each. The top 5 states contribute ~48% of total GST revenue.
GST revenue is distributed as: CGST goes entirely to Centre, SGST goes entirely to the respective State, IGST is split between Centre and destination State based on place of supply. In FY 2024-25 average month (~₹1.75 lakh Cr): CGST ~₹32,000 Cr (Centre), SGST ~₹40,000 Cr (States), IGST ~₹90,000 Cr (split between Centre + States after settlement), Cess ~₹13,000 Cr (goes to Compensation Fund, then to States). After IGST settlement: Centre gets ~47% and States get ~53% of total GST.
GST Compensation Cess was introduced to compensate States for revenue loss during the first 5 years of GST (July 2017 to June 2022). It is levied on specific goods: (1) Aerated beverages (12%), (2) Tobacco products (various rates up to 290%), (3) Motor vehicles (1-22% based on type/size), (4) Coal/lignite (₹400/tonne), (5) Pan masala (various rates). The cess was supposed to end in June 2022 but has been extended to March 2026 to repay COVID-era loans taken by the Centre to compensate States. Monthly cess collection: ~₹13,000 Cr.
April always records the highest GST collection because: (1) Year-end filing effect — businesses file delayed returns and pay pending dues before March 31, (2) Advance tax payments — large corporates pay advance taxes in March (reflected in April GST), (3) Audit/compliance push — CA firms ensure clients clear pending payments before financial year-end, (4) GST officers push for revenue targets — administrative pressure to meet annual targets, (5) Insurance/subscriptions — annual renewals concentrated in March-April. Typically, April collection is 15-20% higher than average months.
