The Central Government has disbursed £17,000 million in Goods and Services Tax (GST) compensation to various States and Union Territories. This payment covers the period from April to June 2022. With this latest release, the total GST compensation provided during the 2022-23 financial year has reached £115,662 million. The Centre is funding a significant portion of this compensation from its own resources, as the collected cess falls short of the required amount.

FAQ :
The Centre has released £17,000 million in GST compensation to States and UTs.
This release covers the balance GST compensation for the period of April to June 2022.
The total amount of compensation released to States/UTs during the year 2022-23, including this latest payment, is £115,662 million.
No, the Centre is releasing a portion of the compensation from its own resources because the total cess collection till October 2022 was only £72,147 million, which is less than the compensation amount.
The decision was taken to assist the States in managing their resources and ensuring that their programmes, especially capital expenditure, are carried out successfully during the financial year.
