Gross GST Collections Rise 6.2% to Over ₹1.84 Lakh Cr in June

Gross GST collections increased by 6.2% to over ₹1.84 lakh crore in June but slipped below the ₹2 lakh crore mark recorded in the previous two months.

Gross GST collections stood at ₹1,73,813 crore a year ago, as per government data released on Tuesday.

In May, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) collection was ₹2.01 lakh crore. It touched a record high of ₹2.37 lakh crore in April this year.

In June, gross revenues from domestic transactions rose 4.6% to about ₹1.38 lakh crore, while GST revenue from imports grew 11.4% to ₹45,690 crore.

The gross Central GST revenues stood at ₹34,558 crore, State GST revenues at ₹43,268 crore, and Integrated GST at about ₹93,280 lakh crore in June. Revenues from Cess were ₹13,491 crore.

Meanwhile, total refunds during the month rose by 28.4% to ₹25,491 crore.

The net GST mop-up stood at about ₹1.59 lakh crore, registering a 3.3% year-on-year growth.

Looking at the numbers on a month-on-month basis, the net GST collections of June this year have shown a reduction of 8.48%, with collections from the domestic market and imports showing a fall, Karthik Mani, Partner, Indirect Tax, BDO India, said.

Coming on the 8th anniversary of the introduction of GST, it is hoped that such muted growth in collection on a year-on-year basis is just an aberration and GST collections would be back to the usual growth trajectory in the coming months, he added.

While large states like Maharashtra, West Bengal, Karnataka, Rajasthan, and Tamil Nadu have reported collection increases of 4 to 8%, other states like Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and Gujarat reported contraction between 1 and 4%.

Some states like Haryana, Bihar and Jharkhand have shown median increases of 10%.

According to Vivek Jalan, Partner, Tax Connect Advisory, after two successive months of ₹2 lakh crore plus GST revenues and double-digit growth, ₹1.85 lakh crore collections in June 2025 seem a little dampening.

However, the YTD growth of 11.8% in GST still gives a tax buoyancy of more than 1%, which means that India is still in the 'Goldilocks situation' amid global turmoil, Jalan added.
