Central GST formulation with lower no of assesses edges over States in per GSTIN collection

Business Line

Despite the higher number, the per assessee or GSTIN (GST Identification Number) collection of GST by States is lower than that of the Centre. Data show that, on a Pan-India basis, the average per assessee collection by the Centre for April 2025 is approximately ₹1.4 lakh, whereas for the States it is around ₹1.14 lakh. This issue is likely to be discussed during the next meeting of the GST Council.

An analysis of GST collection data for April reveals that Central formulations in all States report higher per GSTIN collections. Haryana leads with over ₹3 lakh tax payment, followed by Maharashtra. 

Uttar Pradesh has maximum number of GSTINs but its per GSTIN collection is the lowest among major States.
