GST Collections in Oct 2026: 23% बढ़ा जीएसटी कलेक्शन, चार साल में सबसे तेज, यूपी इस मामले में निकला महाराष्ट्र से आगे

SUMMARY
अक्टूबर 2026 में GST कलेक्शन में 23% की जबरदस्त वृद्धि दर्ज हुई, जो पिछले चार सालों में सबसे तेज ग्रोथ है। इस बार उत्तर प्रदेश ने GST कलेक्शन में महाराष्ट्र को पीछे छोड़ दिया, जो UP की बढ़ती आर्थिक गतिविधियों और टैक्स कम्प्लायंस में सुधार को दर्शाता है। यह ग्रोथ मजबूत घरेलू खपत, त्योहारी सीजन की मांग, ई-इनवॉइसिंग के विस्तार और सरकार की एंटी-इवेजन कार्रवाइयों का नतीजा है। UP में इंडस्ट्रियल ग्रोथ, नए बिजनेस रजिस्ट्रेशन और बेहतर डिजिटल मॉनिटरिंग ने इसे टॉप पर पहुंचाया।
