What it means
GST collections are one of the fastest official signals of business activity: they rise when firms sell more and fall when trade slows. For a business, a state with fast-growing collections and many registrations is an active market with many potential customers and suppliers, but also more competition. A low number of registrations per person can point to a large informal economy, where many small traders sell below the GST threshold of ₹40 lakh for goods (₹20 lakh for services, lower in some states). Compare collections with population and household spending to judge how much of a state's activity is local demand and how much is business located there.

About this statistic
The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is India's main tax on the supply of goods and services. Each sale within a state carries central GST (CGST) and state GST (SGST) in equal halves, while sales between states and imports carry integrated GST (IGST), which is later shared between the Centre and the destination state. These figures come from the monthly revenue report of the GST Network (GSTN), which runs the GST system, and are provisional.
State figures here are domestic GST paid by taxpayers registered in each state, before refunds and before IGST is settled between the Centre and states, and exclude GST on imports. Because GST is paid where a business is registered rather than where its customers live, states with many company headquarters, factories and warehouses collect more than their share of consumption. A GSTIN is a GST registration; one business can hold registrations in several states.
