November GST Collection: India’s Goods and Services Tax (GST) collection in November 2025 stood at Rs 1.70 lakh crore, which is more than the GST collection of Rs 1.69 lakh crore in November last year. But it is less as compared to last month.
There were many big festivals in the country in October. People made huge purchases on this occasion, so the government earned a good amount from GST. GST collection had reached Rs 1.96 lakh crore in October. At the same time, as there was a decline in purchases in November, a decline in GST collection was also seen.
Gross domestic revenue declined by 2.3 percent to Rs 1,24,299 crore in November. This decline has occurred after the reduction in GST rate. If we break it down, then Central GST (CGST) collection was recorded at Rs 34,843 crore, State GST (SGST) at Rs 42,522 crore and Integrated GST (IGST) at Rs 46,934 crore.
Tax increased due to import
Revenue from import of goods increased by 10.2 percent to Rs 45,976 crore in November. With this jump, the total gross GST revenue increased to Rs 1,70,276 crore, which shows a marginal increase of 0.7 percent as compared to November 2024. Talking about refunds, domestic refund in November was Rs 8,741 crore and GST refund on exports was Rs 9,464 crore.
Including both, the total GST refund in November was Rs 18,196 crore. After adjusting the refunds, domestic GST revenue declined by 1.5 percent to Rs 1,15,558 crore. However, there was a huge jump of 11.6 percent in the net collection from exports and imports and it became Rs 36,521 crore. Overall, the total net GST revenue in April-November 2025 increased by 7.3 percent year-on-year to Rs 12.79 lakh crore.
Decline in cess collection
A huge decline was seen in compensation cess collection in November 2025. Domestic cess collection dropped significantly to Rs 4,737 crore from Rs 12,398 crore in the same month last year. Net cess revenue declined to Rs 4,006 crore, showing continued pressure on the compensatory fund.
