Experts in the field said that increased GST collection in Karnataka and other states was due to a revival of economic activity, as well as multiple compliance measures such as blocking of e-way bills and pausing (stopping) of input tax credit for non-filers taken by tax authorities to combat evasion.

In the first eight months of the 2018-19 and 2019-20 fiscal years, Karnataka’s GST income was 33,793.74 crore and 40,295.29 crore, respectively.

GST revenue in the current fiscal year reached five digits in two months, according to State Government sources: $12,338.21 crore in July and $13,915.86 crore in October. Only in the months of May, June, and August did GST collections fall below 5,000 crore, owing to COVID-19-induced economic limitations in the state. With four months left in the current fiscal year, the State is likely to achieve the greatest GST collection in 2021–22 since the NDA government introduced the new tax regime in July 2017.
