Revenue collection under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) during the month of July 2018 increased to Rs 96,483 crore, as compared to previous month’s revenue collection of Rs 95,610 crore, on the back of improved compliance of the e-way bill, which has been made mandatory for moving goods worth over Rs 50,000 from one State to another.
According to the Finance Ministry data, out of the Rs 96,483 crore, Central GST (CGST) was Rs 15,877 crore, State GST (SGST) Rs 22,293 crore, Integrated GST (IGST) Rs 49,951 crore (including Rs 24,852 crore collected on imports) and cess Rs 8,362 crore. It added that this is broadly on expected lines. It also noted that as many as 66 lakh businesses filed returns in the month of July, making it the highest number of monthly GSTR-3B filed since the rollout of GST in July last year.
The Ministry has stated that despite a rise in revenue collection in July, the mop-up is still lower than the government’s monthly target of Rs 1 lakh crore. The 2018-19 budgeted estimate for GST collection is Rs 12 lakh crore.
