🗣️ Abhishek Jain (KPMG, Indirect Tax Head & Partner)
“A 10.2% GST growth on domestic supplies and overall 9.1% rise suggest a potential economic revival for Q4. If the Maha Kumbh effect contributes next month, growth could be even better.”
🗣️ MS Mani (Partner, Deloitte India)
“While domestic GST collections remain strong, import GST slowdown (5.4%) indicates potential shifts in trade. This should be correlated with GDP data on consumption and imports.”
✅ March GST collections could see a boost due to increased festive and tourism-related spending (Maha Kumbh effect).
✅ Government likely to focus on import tax trends to assess trade patterns.
✅ States with low GST growth may undergo policy reviews to identify bottlenecks and boost tax revenue.
