GST collections show upward trend this fiscal; revised central tax estimates reduced while monthly receipts improved. Revised 2018-19 estimates reduce projected Central GST while IGST and GST compensation cess remain unchanged, yielding a lower total than Budget Estimates. Month-by-month collections through January show an improving trend across CGST, SGST, IGST and cess components, with the current fiscal year's average monthly gross collection higher than the previous year's average.
