Here is some good news on the Indian economy, which has been facing some severe criticism due to drastic slowdown.

As the latest reports say, India’s GST collections have crossed Rs 1 lakh crore to touch Rs. 1.03 lakh crore in November 2019, showing a 6% year-on-year rise over November 2018.

The GST has reportedly seen this positive rise after two months of negative growth, this year.

The GST revenue collection was Rs 95,380 crore in October 2019, a decline from Rs 97,637 crore in the same month last year.

This rise in November, third-highest since the GST roll-out, is being attributed to a pick-up in consumption and compliance patterns.

GST witnessed 2019’s highest collections in November, with GST on domestic transactions reporting a 12% rise.
