Odisha witness a 49 per cent increase in GST collection in October 2021 compared to the corresponding month in 2020. Last year for the same month the gross GST collection in Odisha was Rs 3593 crore during October this year against Rs 2419 crore.
According to the reports, the PIB release stated that in September Rs 3,325.94 crore was collected as GST and the state had recorded a GST collection of Rs 3,316.55 crore in August. The gross GST revenue of Rs 1,30,127 crore, collected in the country during the month of October, is the second-highest ever since the introduction of GST, second only to that in April 2021.
The release further added that this is evident from the trend in the e-way bills generated every month since the second wave. The revenues would have still been higher if the sales of cars and other products had not been affected on account of disruption in the supply of semiconductors.
