Net direct tax collections rose by a robust 13.13 per cent to ₹21.3 trillion as of March 16 of the current financial year, boosted by a jump in advance tax collections, according to the latest data released by the Income-Tax Department on Monday.
Advance tax collections so far in the current financial year grew by 14.6 per cent to ₹10.4 trillion, up from ₹9.11 trillion in the previous year. The fourth instalment of advance tax payment was due on March 15.
Aseem Mowar, tax partner at EY India said: “The rise in tax revenue is supported by digitalisation, improved compliance, simplification of tax laws, and industrial growth. Over 4,000 listed corporates disclosed revenue growth of 6.2 per cent, with Ebitda and PAT growing by 11 per cent and 12 per cent, respectively, in Q3FY25 compared to the same quarter in the previous year.”
