As of December 17, 2025, the net direct tax collections for FY 2025-26 stood at ₹17.05 lakh crore.

Net direct tax collections registered an 8% growth compared to the same period in the previous financial year.

A key factor was a 13.52% decline in refunds, which fell to ₹2.97 lakh crore, alongside strong collections from both corporate and non-corporate taxpayers.

Corporate tax net collections rose to ₹8.17 lakh crore, and non-corporate tax collections increased to ₹8.47 lakh crore.

The steady rise in direct tax collections strengthens the government's fiscal position, potentially allowing for targeted tax relief, increased capital expenditure, or fiscal consolidation without aggressive borrowing.
