June GST collection up 6.2% YoY to ₹1.85 trillion, but dips from May, April
However, the June collections marked a decline when compared to the previous month. In May 2025, the Centre collected ₹2.01 trillion, while April witnessed a record-high GST revenue of ₹2.37 trillion.
According to official data, domestic transactions contributed approximately ₹1.38 trillion in gross revenue in June, marking a 4.6 per cent increase over the same period last year. Revenue generated from imports also saw an upswing, growing by 11.4 per cent to reach ₹45,690 crore.
Breakdown:
Central GST (CGST): ₹34,558 crore,
State GST (SGST): ₹43,268 crore
Integrated GST (IGST): ₹93,280 crore.
Revenue from cess: ₹13,491 crore
Meanwhile, total refunds issued during the month rose significantly—by 28.4 per cent y-o-y—to ₹25,491 crore, reported PTI.
The net GST revenue after refunds was approximately ₹1.59 trillion, representing a 3.3 per cent increase compared to June last year.
Reacting to GST collections, Pratik Jain, partner PwC said that it indicates a softening of demand and cautious outlook.
'Around 6 per cent growth in GST collections, coupled with less than 4 per cent growth in advance tax collection for first quarter of FY 26 does indicate softening of demand and cautious outlook. One of the reasons could be conservative spending by the consumers which may improve in next couple of months with overall geopolitical situation improving," Jain said.

SC enhances compensation to farmers whose lands acquired in Maharashtra
New Delhi, Jul 28 (PTI) The Supreme Court on Monday enhanced the compensation granted to farmers whose lands were acquired in 1994 for setting up an industrial area in Maharashtra. A bench of Chief Justice B R Gavai and Justice Augustine George Masih was deciding the pleas challenging an April 2022 order of the Bombay High Court, which had dismissed the appeals filed by the farmers. 'We direct that the compensation granted to the appellants be enhanced from Rs 32,000 per acre to Rs 58,320 per acre," the bench held. The court observed farmers' land was situated in a 'prime location" and they deserved the benefit of the highest sale exemplar. The bench noted it could have remitted the matter to the high court for a fresh consideration but said appellants were farmers and their land was acquired by the respondent-state in the early 1990s, and it was only appropriate for it to decide if they ought to be granted compensation on the basis of the highest exemplar sale deed. The top court referred to the settled position of law stipulating when there were several exemplars with reference to similar land, 'usually the highest of the exemplars, which is a bona-fide transaction, will be considered". The bench said it was also settled that compensation payable to the land owner was determined by reference to the price which a seller might reasonably expect to obtain from a willing purchaser. Dealing with the case, the bench said the land was acquired for public purpose for the establishment of Jintur industrial area. While allowing the appeals, the bench set aside the high court order. The appellants were stated to be farmers and owners of the lands situated at Pungala village in Maharashtra's Parbhani district . The bench said in December 1994, the state took possession of the appellants' land and an award was passed by the Land Acquisition Officer. It noted the total compensation awarded was Rs 45,70,508. Being aggrieved by the quantum of compensation awarded, the appellants moved the reference court and later to the high court.

Rupee pares initial gains, settles 18 paise lower at 86.70 against US dollar
Mumbai, Jul 28 (PTI) The rupee pared initial gains and settled for the day 18 paise lower at 86.70 against the US dollar on Monday, as month-end dollar demand from importers continued to keep the American unit well bid. Forex traders said investors traded cautiously awaiting the outcome of India-US trade talks ahead of the August 1 deadline. Moreover, a negative trend in the domestic equity markets dented investors' sentiments further. Investors also remained cautious ahead of the US Federal Reserve and Bank of Japan's monetary policy decisions next week, they said. At the interbank foreign exchange, the domestic unit opened at 86.47 against the greenback and touched an intra-day high of 86.40 and a low of 86.70 against the greenback. At the end of Monday's trading session, the local unit settled at 86.70, down 18 paise over its previous closing price. On Friday, the rupee declined 12 paise to settle at 86.52 against the US dollar. 'The Indian rupee has depreciated against the US dollar, mirroring the trend of most Asian currencies. This weakening is largely attributed to the strengthening dollar, which gained momentum following the recent EU-US Trade deal. 'The dollar's rise was further fuelled by a buying spree leading up to the trade deal deadline, coupled with foreign fund selling in the Indian market," said Dilip Parmar, Research Analyst, HDFC Securities. In the near-term, the spot USD-INR pair is expected to find support at 86.10 and face resistance at 86.75, he added. Meanwhile, the dollar index, which gauges the greenback's strength against a basket of six currencies, rose 0.54 per cent to 98.17. Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, went up by 0.85 per cent to USD 69.02 per barrel in futures trade, after the EU and US reached a trade agreement that eased tariff concerns and boosted future energy demands. In the domestic equity market, the 30-share BSE Sensex declined 572.07 points, or 0.70 per cent, to close at 80,891.02, while the Nifty fell 156.10 points, or 0.63 per cent, to settle at 24,680.90. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) offloaded equities worth Rs 6,082.47 crore on a net basis on Monday, according to exchange data. Forex traders said rupee is trading with a slight negative bias amid uncertainty ahead of the August 1 trade deal deadline. If the discussions fail or get delayed, Indian exporters could face fresh pressure — adding to the rupee's challenges. However, if a deal is reached, it could offer a much-needed breather. Until then, the uncertainty is likely to keep market participants cautious. 'We expect the rupee to trade with a negative bias as trade deals between India and the US continue to linger," Anuj Choudhary, Research Analyst at Mirae Asset Sharekhan, said. 'Month-end dollar demand from importers may also weigh on the domestic currency. Investors may remain cautious ahead of the US Federal Reserve and Bank of Japan's monetary policy decision next week. USD-INR spot price is expected to trade in a range of Rs 86.35 to Rs 86.90," Choudhary added. India's industrial production growth slowed to a 10-month low of 1.5 per cent in June 2025 due to poor performance of mining and power sectors, which were impacted by excess rains especially in second half of the month, according to official data released on Monday. The factory output, measured in terms of the Index of Industrial Production (IIP), had expanded by 4.9 per cent in June 2024. Meanwhile, the RBI data released on Friday showed India's forex kitty declined by USD 1.183 billion to USD 695.489 billion during the week ended July 18. In the previous week, the overall kitty had dropped by USD 3.064 billion to USD 696.672 billion. The reserves had touched an all-time high of USD 704.885 billion at end-September 2024.
