AP mops up GST revenue of Rs 3,560 cr
The state successfully reversed the downward trend observed in Nov and Dec 2024. "We achieved sustained growth in GST revenue during the first quarter of 2025, through strategic policy implementation and improved compliance measures," chief commissioner of state taxes, Babu A, told TOI.
He said the impressive performance not only signifies effective tax administration but also reflects the positive economic momentum in the state. "The net GST collections in April represent the highest revenue since Andhra Pradesh Goods and Services Tax (APGST) Act was introduced in 2017. The IGST settlement of ₹1943 crore is also the highest revenue since 2017. This increase reflects strengthened tax compliance, improved settlement adjustments, and a broader tax base within the state. The growth in net collections is particularly significant because net revenue represents the actual revenue accrued to the state after accounting for IGST settlements and other components," added Babu.
While gross collections reflect the total tax paid, net collections provide a more accurate indicator of the state's fiscal health by considering the revenues available for state expenditures. The Centre deducted Rs 796 crore in IGST settlement for the month of April under the adjustment of advance apportionment to make up the shortfall in IGST balance as on March 31.

The collection of Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST) has an indirect influence on the net revenues of the state. Under the IGST mechanism defined in the GST Act, the IGST paid by taxpayers within the state is transferred to other states, which impacts the state's overall revenue share if taxpayers adjust the SGST credit against the IGST liability.
KEY MEASURES
Enhanced compliance with returns, strengthened enforcement strategies, and integration of asset details and bank accounts of defaulters to recover arrears helped boost tax collections. Real-time monitoring of collections and targeted revenue measures enhanced efficiency and accountability in tax administration

Tariff Shock: $7 bn India–US auto parts trade braces for big impact
The US's new tariffs on Indian auto components are set to cause immediate disruption, with analysts and industry experts warning that 15-20 per cent of India's exports to its largest auto-parts market could be lost in the short term, ToI reported. The US accounts for 27 per cent of India's auto component exports, meaning around 8 per cent of the country's total production will be directly affected, said Jitin Makkar, group head and senior vice-president (corporate ratings) at ICRA . According to the Automotive Component Manufacturers Association (ACMA), exports to the US stood at nearly $7 billion in 2024. Of this, $3.6 billion worth of parts and components for cars and small trucks will now attract a 25 per cent duty. The bigger hit will come from the remaining $3 billion, which includes commercial vehicle parts, construction equipment components, off-highway machinery, and tractor and farm equipment parts, all of which will face a reciprocal tariff of 50 per cent. While larger original equipment manufacturers are already exploring alternative markets, the impact will be most severe for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that make up the bulk of the sector. Noble Cast Comp, an aluminium casting manufacturer in Bhosari, sends 60 per cent of its products to the US. Its chairman and managing director, Nitin Bhagwat, said American customers were already asking the company to share the tariff burden, which would squeeze profit margins. In Pimpri Chinchwad, R K Industries exports computer numerical control machined components to global auto firms, with 20 per cent of its shipments going to the US. 'Effects are expected to be felt from next month, with US customers likely seeking price reductions due to increased landing costs and clients may also explore alternative suppliers from countries with lower costs,' said the company's operations head, Nilesh Khaire. The effective duty rates will range from 25-28 per cent to 45-50 per cent, depending on the product category, and the extent of the impact will vary based on how essential the exported component is. Ravindra Patki, managing partner at Vector Consulting Group, said, '30-40 per cent of India's auto component exports to the US comes from programmes in which India is one of multiple approved suppliers with a defined share of business.' For larger exportable parts, Indian suppliers will be at a disadvantage compared with exporters from countries such as Japan, Vietnam and Indonesia, which face lower tariffs of 15-19 per cent. Component makers say much will depend on their individual ties with US buyers. Sipra Engineering managing director M Umadi said, 'US customers, accounting for 28-32 per cent of exports, have assured support if we maintain cost, quality and delivery standards, but may request cost reductions later.'

15th Finance Commission's tax share rejig boosts Bihar, Maharashtra; Karnataka hit
New Delhi: Seven states have seen their share of the divisible tax pool shrink, while 21 have gained under the 15th Finance Commission's 2021–26 award compared with the previous allocation, finance ministry data showed. Karnataka faced one of the sharpest cuts, with its share dropping from 4.713% in the 14th Finance Commission (2015-20) to 3.647%. The divisible pool is that portion of gross tax revenue that is distributed between the Centre and the states. The divisible pool consists of all taxes, except surcharges and cess levied for specific purpose, net of collection charges. Kerala's allocation fell from 2.5% to 1.925%, and Andhra Pradesh's from 4.305% to 4.047%. Assam, Odisha, Telangana, and the country's most populous state Uttar Pradesh also saw reductions. However, Uttar Pradesh's dip, from 17.959% to 17.939%, was marginal. In contrast, 21 states gained. Bihar's share rose from 9.665% to 10.058%, Maharashtra's from 5.521% to 6.317%, Rajasthan's from 5.495% to 6.026%, and West Bengal's from 7.324% to 7.523%. Smaller states such as Arunachal Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Sikkim, and Tripura, also recorded the largest proportional increases. To be sure, the Finance Commission determines each state's share of tax devolution by evaluating factors such as population, income, area and demographic performance, assigning specific weights to these criteria to calculate the final percentage allocation. 'It is the prerogative of the Finance Commission to decide the criteria for recommending inter se tax shares from overall tax devolution for each State. This power of the Commission is given in Article 280(3)(a) of the Constitution of India,' the ministry of finance recently said in a written response to a question in the Rajya Sabha. 'Depending upon the parameters chosen by the Finance Commission and the weightages assigned, the percentage share of the taxes received by the states varies from one Finance Commission period to another,' it added. Meanwhile, the Arvind Panagariya-led 16th Finance Commission is currently reviewing detailed submissions from states and central ministries to finalize its 2026–31 recommendations by 31 October, a verdict that will shape the fiscal landscape for the next five years (2027-31), deciding which states enjoy greater spending room and which must operate under tighter constraints. The 16th Finance Commission, like its predecessors, is tasked with recommending how central tax revenues should be divided between the Centre and the states (vertical devolution), and how that share should be distributed among states (horizontal devolution). It will also assess funding needs for disaster management and for strengthening local governments. Speaking to Mint, in an interview last month, Manoj Panda, a member of the 16th Finance Commission, said that the commission has just completed several rounds of state visits, and may have to go "a bit beyond" the standard parameters while computing the share of the country's revenue kitty between states and the Centre. He added that the states' tax-to-GSDP (gross state domestic product) ratios have remained stuck at 6-7% levels and that future tax collections will primarily hinge on GSDP growth. To be sure, there is a growing demand from wealthier Indian states, typically bunched around the western and southern regions, to be given a bigger share of the revenue.
