New Delhi: India’s Goods and Services Tax (GST) collection rose to Rs1.85 lakh crore during June this year, marking a 6.2 per cent increase compared to the same month of the previous year, according to official data released on Tuesday. Although collections registered a robust growth to remain above Rs1.8 lakh crore, they were lower than the all-time high of Rs2.37 lakh crore recorded in April and Rs2.01 lakh crore in May.

A study by the Finance Ministry noted that GST helped households save at least four per cent on monthly expenses in total. Consumers now spend less on daily necessities.

GST has also transformed the logistics industry. Long queues of trucks at State borders and corruption-prone checkpoints have become a thing of the past. Goods now move faster and more freely across state lines.
