FAQ :
Uttar Pradesh's GST collections reached £10,000 crore in March, marking an 11-month high.
The rise was largely attributed to the Mahakumbh festival in Prayagraj, which spurred economic activity. However, experts also point to other factors and caution against attributing the entire increase solely to the festival.
While the Mahakumbh led to increased economic activity, many related transactions, such as those by small vendors and food stalls, are exempt from GST. Sectors like tourism and hospitality saw a boost, but not enough to create a dramatic rise in GST revenue on their own.
No, fuel and alcohol are taxed at the state level and are outside the GST framework, so their sales did not significantly impact GST collections.
After a dip in the middle quarters, collections surged in the final quarter (Q4) of FY25 to over £9,500 crore, indicating a solid recovery towards the end of the fiscal year.
Nationally, GST collections in March reached £1.96 lakh crore, marking the second-highest collection on record and a growth of around 10% compared to March of the previous year.
