GST revenues rise 9.1% in September: Collections hit Rs 1.89 lakh crore; outpaces August surge

This consistent growth is significant, occurring despite expected sales stagnation following August’s GST rate rationalisation announcement and the discontinuation of GST from online money gaming. The robust collections highlight sustained economic activity.
