The government has settled Rs 31,880 crore to CGST and Rs 27,403 crore to SGST from IGST as regular settlement. The total revenue of Centre and the States after regular settlements in the month of September 2022 is Rs 57,151 crore for CGST and Rs 59,216 crore for the SGST.

During the month, revenue from import of goods were 39 per cent higher and the revenue from domestic transactions (including import of services) are 22 per cent higher than revenues from these sources during the same month last year.

The monthly GST revenues have been more than the Rs 1.4 lakh crore mark for the seventh month in a row. The growth in GST revenue till September 2022 over the same period last year is 27 per cent, continuing to display very high buoyancy.
