GST Collections Could Hit Rs 4-5 Lakh Crore Monthly if Loopholes Plugged: SBI Chief Economic Advisor

Last updated: 24 November 2025


Quick Summary
India's monthly Goods and Services Tax (GST) collections could potentially reach between Rs 4 lakh crore and Rs 5 lakh crore if systemic loopholes within the indirect tax framework are addressed. This projection comes from the State Bank of India's Group Chief Economic Advisor, who noted that current GST revenues have already doubled in five years, reaching over Rs 2 lakh crore monthly. Plugging these loopholes could significantly increase this figure, potentially improving the overall tax structure and allowing for greater subsidisation of direct taxes.

The country's gross GST collections could rise to Rs 4 lakh crore to Rs 5 lakh crore every month in the coming years, provided systemic loopholes in the indirect tax framework are fully plugged, according to the State Bank of India's (SBI) Group Chief Economic Advisor and member of the 16th Finance

If systemic loopholes in the indirect tax framework are fully plugged, the country's gross GST collections could rise to Rs 4 lakh crore to Rs 5 lakh crore every month.

GST collections have doubled in the last five years, with average monthly gross GST collections growing from below Rs 1 lakh crore to over Rs 2 lakh crore.

In October, India's gross GST collections were Rs 1.96 lakh crore, showing a 4.6% year-on-year increase.

The Union Budget has projected the GST kitty to hit Rs 25 trillion for FY26.
