India’s GST revenue tops ₹1.8 lakh crore in October, third-highest ever
India’s Goods and Services Tax (GST) collections hit ₹1.8 lakh crore, rising 11% year-on-year and marking the third-highest monthly tally on record, according to the Finance Ministry. The surge was driven by festive-season spending and stronger compliance. Central GST accounted for ₹33,000 crore, while state GST contributed ₹41,000 crore. Economists said the data underscores steady consumption momentum despite global headwinds. The government expects average monthly GST revenue to stay above ₹1.7 lakh crore through the fiscal year, supporting its fiscal-deficit target.
