The West Bengal finance department recorded a 17% increase in Goods and Services Tax (GST) receipts for October, bringing the total collection to ₹6,055 crore. The rise reflects a stronger tax base and improved compliance, according to data cited by BusinessLine.
Compared with the same month last year, the jump in revenue underscores the state's ongoing fiscal consolidation efforts. Officials attributed the growth to higher consumption in key sectors and timely filing of returns by businesses.
The state government has not disclosed the exact figures for the previous year, but the percentage increase signals a positive trend in revenue generation ahead of the upcoming financial planning cycle.
