Goods and Services Tax receipts rise while accelerated refund disbursals reduce net inflows but support business liquidity. Increase in gross Goods and Services Tax receipts reflected a rise in domestic and import-derived tax revenue and a substantial surge in GST refunds, with higher refunds reducing net inflows while supporting taxpayer working capital and indicating sustained consumption and revenue resilience.
