Govt facilities boosted industrial growth, GST collection: CM

Gandhinagar: Speaking at an event in Banaskantha district after unveiling development projects worth Rs 358.37 crore, chief minister Bhupendra Patel said that facilities provided by the govt have boosted industrial activity, which in turn has increased goods and service tax (GST) collection. He was referring to India's gross GST collection of Rs 2 lakh crore in May this year. The CM said, "Besides the fear of getting punished, people have started paying their taxes because they have realised that the tax money is being utilised for their welfare. Government schemes are benefiting every deserving citizen. This is the reason the country's tax revenue has increased in recent times." Patel said that facilities offered by the state govt are also contributing to the growth of industries and hence a resultant increase in GST collection. "India's GST collection was more than Rs 2 lakh crore in just one month (May). A trader can pay tax only when his business does well. You will need good roads, electricity and water connection at industrial estates for running a business. Only then will you earn well and eventually pay taxes. Therefore, facilities are also important," the CM said.
