New Delhi: The Goods and Services Tax (GST) collection in December 2020 registered a record high of over Rs 1.15 lakh crore, the Union Finance Ministry said on Friday.
In fact, the revenues for the month were 12 per cent higher than the GST collection in December 2019.
“This is the highest growth in monthly revenues for the last 21 months.
