The state's GST revenue for October rose 17% year‑on‑year to ₹6,055 crore, according to data released by A2Z Taxcorp LLP.
West Bengal recorded a significant rise in Goods and Services Tax (GST) receipts for October, with collections reaching ₹6,055 crore. The figure represents a 17% increase compared with the same month last year, according to a report from tax consultancy A2Z Taxcorp LLP.
The surge in GST revenue reflects higher economic activity in the state, driven by robust consumption and a rebound in key sectors such as retail and services. Analysts note that the growth outpaces the national average, underscoring West Bengal's improving fiscal health.
State officials have not disclosed how the additional funds will be allocated, but the increased inflow is expected to bolster the budgetary position ahead of upcoming development projects and social welfare schemes.
The data also shows that October's GST collection surpasses the previous month's total, indicating a steady upward trend as the state continues its post‑pandemic recovery.
A2Z Taxcorp LLP, which compiles tax data for various jurisdictions, said the figures are based on official returns filed by businesses and will be incorporated into the state's financial statements for the quarter.
