The centre collected Rs 68,228 crore on April 20 – the highest-ever single-day collection.
“The revenues for April 2023 are 12 per cent higher than the GST revenues in the same month last year,” the government’s Press Information Bureau said in a statement.
“During the month, the revenues from domestic transactions (including import of services) were 16 per cent higher than the revenues from these sources during the same month last year,” it said.
Sikkim’s GST revenue collection growth of 61 per cent was the highest among the states at Rs 426 crore in April 2023, compared to Rs 264 crore in the same month last year, according to data published by the government today.
