India's GST Revenue Performance: July 2025 State-Wise Overview

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) collection data for July 2025 was officially released on August 1, 2025, by the GST Network. This period witnessed a substantial total collection of Rs. 1,95,735 crores, indicating a positive increase compared to June 2025's figure of Rs. 1,84,597 crores. This article delves into the reasons behind this growth and provides an in-depth, state-wise analysis of the GST revenue for July 2025.

Detailed Analysis of GST Collections in July 2025

GST collections in July 2025 demonstrated an upward trend compared to the corresponding period in the previous financial year. This growth suggests a revitalized tax base and improved adherence to compliance regulations. The gross GST revenue reached Rs. 1,95,735 crore, surpassing the figures from the preceding month.

On a year-on-year basis, the July 2025 collections showed a 7.5% increase over July 2024, when the revenue stood at Rs. 1,82,075 crore. The various components contributing to this total included:

  • Central GST (CGST) at Rs. 35,470 crores
  • State GST (SGST) at Rs. 44,059 crores
  • Integrated GST (IGST) at Rs. 1,03,536 crores
  • Cess at Rs. 12,670 crores

Revenue generated from domestic transactions experienced a 6.7% year-on-year growth, while revenue from imported goods saw a robust 9.7% rise. During July 2025, refunds totaling Rs. 27,147 crores were processed. This amount comprised Rs. 3,317 crores for CGST, Rs. 4,542 crores for SGST, Rs. 18,661 crores for IGST, and Rs. 627 crores for cess refunds. Consequently, the net GST collections for July 2025 stood at Rs. 1,68,588 crore, reflecting a modest 1.7% increase from the previous year.

The relatively lower GST collections observed in June 2025 were primarily attributed to it being a non-festive period. Expectations are high for increased collections in subsequent months, driven by typical seasonal trends. Furthermore, anticipation is building for the upcoming 56th GST Council meeting, where discussions may include merging existing rate slabs into fewer categories to streamline the overall tax framework.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is GST and how does it function in India?
GST, or Goods and Services Tax, is an indirect tax levied on the supply of goods and services in India. It replaced multiple cascading taxes previously imposed by the central and state governments, aiming to simplify the tax structure and create a unified market. Taxes are typically collected at the point of consumption.
What are the different components of GST, such as CGST, SGST, and IGST?
GST in India comprises three main components: Central GST (CGST) collected by the central government, State GST (SGST) collected by state governments for intra-state supplies, and Integrated GST (IGST) collected by the central government for inter-state supplies and imports. Additionally, a GST Cess might be applied to certain goods and services.
How does the GST Council influence tax rates and policies?
The GST Council is the governing body for GST in India, chaired by the Union Finance Minister and including state finance ministers. It makes crucial decisions regarding GST rates, exemptions, rules, and administrative procedures, ensuring a harmonized framework for the entire country.
Why are state-wise GST collection figures important?
State-wise GST collection figures are vital indicators of economic activity and consumption patterns within individual states and union territories. They help states assess their financial health, track growth trends, and plan budgetary allocations, as well as providing insights into regional economic performance.
What impact do seasonal trends typically have on India's GST revenue?
Seasonal trends often have a notable impact on India's GST revenue. Periods with major festivals, holidays, or agricultural harvesting seasons can lead to increased consumption and business activity, resulting in higher GST collections. Conversely, non-festive or lean seasons might see comparatively lower collections.
