Post-Settlement GST is the cumulative total of states' and Union Territories' GST revenues and the SGST portion of IGST settled to them.

Anticipated increases in GST revenues are expected in the forthcoming months, driven by the festive season and potential GST rate rationalization decisions from future GST Council meetings.

The government initiated the publication of monthly GST revenue reports on its official portal several months ago. The detailed September 2024 report became available on October 1, 2024, accessible via the official GST portal.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is GST and why was it introduced in India?
GST, or Goods and Services Tax, is an indirect tax introduced in India on July 1, 2017. It replaced multiple cascading taxes levied by central and state governments, aiming to create a unified national market and simplify the tax structure for goods and services.
How is GST structured in India?
India's GST system is dual, comprising Central GST (CGST) and State GST (SGST) for intra-state transactions, and Integrated GST (IGST) for inter-state transactions and imports. There is also a Union Territory GST (UTGST) for Union Territories without a legislature, and a GST Cess on certain goods and services.
What are the current GST tax slabs in India?
The GST Council regularly reviews and updates the tax rates. Currently, there are four main GST tax slabs: 5%, 12%, 18%, and 28%. Essential goods and services may be exempt from GST, or fall into the lowest slab, while luxury items and demerit goods typically attract higher rates.
Who is required to register for GST in India?
Businesses in India are generally required to register for GST if their aggregate turnover exceeds certain thresholds. These thresholds vary for goods and services, and for normal category states versus special category states. Mandatory registration also applies to specific businesses, such as those involved in inter-state supply, e-commerce operators, and non-resident taxable persons.
How do GST collections contribute to India's economy?
GST collections are a significant source of revenue for both the central and state governments, funding public services and infrastructure development. Consistent growth in GST collections indicates a healthy economic environment, increased consumption, and improved tax compliance, reflecting positive trends in trade and industry.
