Coupled with economic growth, anti-evasion activities, especially action against fake billers have also been contributing to the enhanced GST collections. It is expected that the positive trend in the revenues will continue and the second half of the year will post higher revenues.

Centre had also released GST compensation of Rs. 22,000 crore to States to meet their GST revenue gap.
