NEW DELHI (Reuters) -India's goods and services tax (GST) collections rose 11% from a year earlier to 1.65 trillion rupees ($20.05 billion) in July, a government statement showed on Tuesday.
The government collected 1.49 trillion rupees as GST in July 2022 and 1.61 trillion rupees in June 2023.
It expects to garner 9.56 trillion rupees through GST in the current fiscal year that ends in March 2024.
