In early October, amidst a series of financial changes, the Modi government received its first positive news regarding GST collection. The government released data on GST collection for September, which proved to be very encouraging.
According to the published data, more than two lakh crore rupees were received into the state treasury from GST. These figures were presented on October 1, 2026.
The total GST collection in the country for the previous month amounted to 2.03 lakh crore rupees, demonstrating a significant growth of 14.7 percent compared to the previous period. It is important to note that under the Modi government, GST collection reached the mark of 200 crore rupees for the third consecutive month.
This is the third consecutive month that GST collection has exceeded the threshold of 200 crore rupees. Previously, in July, the total GST collection reached 2.11 lakh crore rupees, showing an annual increase of 15.4 percent. In August 2026, GST collection also amounted to about 200 crore rupees, demonstrating an annual growth of 14.8 percent, and now the September figures are also impressive.
