GST collections hit ₹2.31 trillion in October as imports rise
In short
GST collections reached ₹2.31 trillion in October. Import-related revenue rose 42%, and total gross collections were up 22.9% from a year earlier.
This matters because the higher take suggests stronger tax inflows for the government. The reporting does not say what other factors drove the rise.
