GST revenue follows annual pattern, hits all-time high of Rs 2.43 lakh crore in April 2026

The government’s Goods and Services Tax (GST) revenue in April 2026 surged to an all-time high of Rs 2.43 lakh crore, up 8.7% over April last year. Notably, growth was once again driven by collections on imports, with revenue from domestic sales growing slower. 

Tax experts, however, note that collections in April, which represent activity in March, typically come in higher as both industry and the tax administration make a final push to achieve the financial year-end targets.
