Saloni Roy, partner at Deloitte India, said, “India has been clocking a healthy Rs 1.5 lakh crores as monthly GST collections, though this month’s collection has been slightly lower than what is now almost the norm. Healthy, regular and robust GST collections are a mirror to the economy’s performance. So far India’s story seems protected from the global economic trends and show that the domestic demand continues on a positive trajectory.”
