Chandigarh GST growth slows to 4% in September, trailing Punjab, Delhi

The Goods and Services Tax (GST) collected in Chandigarh registered a modest 4% increase in September, according to data compiled by tax consultancy A2Z Taxcorp LLP. This growth rate marks a deceleration compared with the previous months and places the Union Territory below the performance of adjacent states. Punjab and Delhi reported higher GST growth for the same period, underscoring a regional disparity in tax revenue expansion. Analysts note that the slowdown could reflect broader economic trends affecting consumer spending and business activity in the city. The figures will be monitored closely as policymakers assess fiscal health ahead of the upcoming financial quarter.
