<h1>GST revenue recovery driven by increased compliance and administrative measures boosting collections and IGST settlements.</h1> October 2021 saw the second-highest monthly gross GST collections driven by economic recovery and strengthened tax administration; receipts comprised central, state and integrated components with regular IGST settlements and notable import contributions. Enhanced compliance resulted from facilitative measures (nil filing by SMS, QRMP, auto-population, GSTN capacity upgrades) together with deterrence (e-way bill blocking, registration suspension for serial non-filers, blocking of credit), while the GST Council continues to consider further steps to curb fraudulent input tax credit.
