The Excise and Taxation Department has achieved significant growth in the collection of Goods and Services Tax (GST).
In February 2025, gross GST revenue of Rs 1,83,646 crore was collected in the country, which is 9.1 per cent more than the GST revenue of the same month last year. At the same time, the gross GST collection in Haryana in February 2025 is Rs 9,925 crore, while in February 2024, it was Rs 8,269 crore, an increase of 20 per cent. This is double the national growth average of 10 per cent. Haryana remains among the top 5 states in the country in GST collection along with Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat and Tamil Nadu.
A government spokesperson said this not only reflects the success of the tax reform policy of the Haryana Government but it was also an important step towards ensuring development of the state. Haryana had also shown the highest growth rate among the big states in January 2025. The increase in GST collection reflects economic progress.
The Excise and Taxation Department contributes more than 80 per cent of the total revenue of the state under the heads SGST, Excise Duty and VAT. During the period April 2024-February 2025, the Excise and Taxation Department has collected Rs 57,125 crore which is more than 90 per cent of the total Budget target amounting to Rs 63,348 crore for the year 2024-25 and the department is all set to exceed the Budget target.
The government spokesperson said revenue was an important source for the government, which provided the necessary funds to develop various government projects, provide civic services and encourage the development of the country and the state.
