Nagaland recorded a sharp rise in GST revenue, with 104% jump in June alone.
The state tax department celebrated this milestone at the commissioner of taxes office in Dimapur, reporting a sharp rise in GST revenue owing to sweeping internal reforms and intensified enforcement measures, an official release said on Monday.
In a remarkable year-on-year comparison, the department has posted a 43% increase in April, 44% in May, and an astounding 104% in June 2025. Petroleum revenue also saw a substantial 31% rise in the first quarter of FY 2025-26.
The department credits these gains to structural improvements, skill development initiatives, adoption of best practices, and a revamp of enforcement mechanisms.
To further support enforcement efforts, additional chief secretary and finance commissioner Sentiyanger Imchen flagged off four new vehicles. These will aid field mobility and enhance outreach across the state.
Abhinav Shivam, commissioner Of state taxes, expressed appreciation to the state govt for supporting the department’s operational needs. “The addition of these vehicles is a much-needed boost. It will help us plan and execute field operations more effectively,” he said.
Shivam also lauded the tireless efforts of tax officers and the business community’s growing compliance. “The surge in tax collection is proof that Nagaland is adapting swiftly to the changing GST landscape,” Shivam said. “Our officials are second to none in the country.”
