June GST collection up 6.2% YoY to ₹1.85 trillion, but dips from May, April

June collections marked a decline when compared to the previous month, when the Centre collected ₹2.01 trillion in May

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) collection in June came in at ₹1.85 trillion, reflecting a 6.2 per cent year-on-year (y-o-y) rise, according to government data.

 

However, the June collections marked a decline when compared to the previous month. In May 2025, the Centre collected ₹2.01 trillion, while April witnessed a record-high GST revenue of ₹2.37 trillion.

 

According to official data, domestic transactions contributed approximately ₹1.38 trillion in gross revenue in June, marking a 4.6 per cent increase over the same period last year. Revenue generated from imports also saw an upswing, growing by 11.4 per cent to reach ₹45,690 crore.

 

Breakdown:

• Central GST (CGST): ₹34,558 crore,
• State GST (SGST): ₹43,268 crore
• Integrated GST (IGST): ₹93,280 crore.
• Revenue from cess: ₹13,491 crore

 

Meanwhile, total refunds issued during the month rose significantly—by 28.4 per cent y-o-y—to ₹25,491 crore, reported PTI.

 

The net GST revenue after refunds was approximately ₹1.59 trillion, representing a 3.3 per cent increase compared to June last year.

 

Reacting to GST collections, Pratik Jain, partner PwC said that it indicates a softening of demand and cautious outlook.

 

“Around 6 per cent growth in GST collections, coupled with less than 4 per cent growth in advance tax collection for first quarter of FY 26 does indicate softening of demand and cautious outlook. One of the reasons could be conservative spending by the consumers which may improve in next couple of months with overall geopolitical situation improving," Jain said.
