GST Mop-up at ₹1.96 Trillion in July, but Higher Refunds Slow Net Revenue Growth

INDIA, AUG 1 – India's gross GST collections rose 7.5% to Rs 1.96 lakh crore in July 2025, while refunds surged 66.8%, moderating net revenue growth to 1.7%, government data shows.

  • In July 2025, the combined revenue from India’s GST reached ₹1.96 trillion, reflecting a 7.5% growth compared to the same month in the previous year, as per official figures released on August 1, 2025.
  • This growth follows steady economic expansion, improved compliance, and the GST Council's ongoing efforts since its formation in 2016 to simplify the tax framework and support revenue augmentation.
  • Gross GST receipts from April to July 2025 rose 10.7% year-on-year to ₹8.18 lakh crore, but higher refunds, up 66.8% to ₹27,147 crore, moderated net revenue growth to 1.7% in July.
  • M.S. Mani of Deloitte India noted the refund increase indicates stability in online refunds and quicker sanctioning, while state collections showed varied growth, with Madhya Pradesh up 18% and Manipur down 36%.
  • These results signal economic resilience amid global uncertainties and a positive fiscal outlook, supported by manufacturing output reaching a 16-month high of 59.1 in July 2025.
