September GST collections rise 14.7% to over ₹2 trillion
In short
September GST collections rose 14.7% to a little over ₹2 trillion. Gross GST from domestic activity was about ₹1.38 trillion, and import-linked revenue was ₹65,525 crore. Refunds fell to ₹27,001 crore.
This matters because it shows stronger tax inflows for the government and a bigger contribution from imports. The report does not fully explain why collections rose so much.
What the reporting says
September GST collections rose 14.7% to about ₹2.03–₹2.04 trillion, with gross revenue from domestic activity at about ₹1.38 trillion and import-linked revenue at ₹65,525 crore.

The reporting also says first-half gross GST collection increased 11.6%, but the underlying drivers beyond stronger imports are not fully stated.
