Total GST collections for July is Rs 94063 crore. Ministry publishes GST Revenue Figures as on 25th September 2017 says there are still more returns to be filed.
Whether it is demonetisation or GST, is the only measure of their success left with the Government is Revenue collection? Had the collection to the Crown been the only indicator of good governance, Timur Lang or Nader Shah would have been in the list of greatest adminstrator of times. I believe the Government should also come forward with the details of spending made by it out of the collections made. To begin with, the Government should share the details of spending made out of education cess since it has been imposed.
The Press Release of the Finance Ministry is as under:
The Goods and Services Tax (GST) was introduced on 1st of July, 2017. In the press release dated 29th August, 2017, it was reported that the total revenue of GST paid under different heads for the month of July, 2017 (upto 29th August) was Rs. 92,283 crore.
