January 2025 GST Collection Overview

The GST collections for January 2025 achieved the second-highest figures in the fiscal year 2024-25, surpassed only by April 2024. This month's collections demonstrated a strong year-on-year (Y-o-Y) growth of 12.3%, rising from Rs. 1,74,106 crore in January 2024. The total revenue for January 2025 comprised Rs. 36,077 crore from CGST, Rs. 44,942 crore from SGST, Rs. 1,01,075 crore from IGST, and Rs. 13,412 crore from cess. Notably, domestic transactions saw a solid 10% Y-o-Y increase, while import revenues surged by 19.8%.

The increase in monthly GST collections is primarily due to increased consumer spending, particularly in sectors like retail, automotive, and construction during late 2024.

Tax relief measures announced in the Union Budget 2025 are also expected to stimulate consumption in India, positively influencing future GST revenues.
