GST revenue growth reflects stronger domestic collections and higher net receipts following inter-governmental settlements in the current fiscal year
Gross GST revenue for March 2024 was the second-highest monthly collection, led by higher domestic transactions, and net-of-refunds receipts for March and FY 2023-24 showed significant year-on-year growth. The release presents component-wise figures for CGST, SGST, IGST (including imports) and cess, and describes IGST-based settlements from the Centre to states that determine post-settlement state receipts. State-wise comparisons and pre- and post-settlement SGST tables illustrate differing growth rates and the settlement mechanism's effect on distributable revenues.
