India's gross Goods and Services Tax (GST) collections rose 13.9% year-on-year to Rs 1.95 lakh crore in June 2026, driven mainly by a 34.6% surge in import tax revenues. Domestic GST collections grew modestly by 6.5%, while total refunds increased 29.1% to Rs 32,436 crore. Net GST revenue after refunds rose 11.2% to Rs 1.62 lakh crore. For the April-June quarter, gross collections grew 8.4%, with uneven state-wise performance noted across regions.
