During this month, the government has settled Rs 19,286 crore to CGST and Rs 16,939 crore to SGST from IGST as regular settlement.

The revenues for the month of June 2021 are 2 per cent higher than the GST revenues in the same month last year.

GST collection after posting above Rs 1 lakh crore mark for eight months in a row, the collection in June 2021 dropped below Rs 1 lakh crore. The GST collection for June 2021 is related to the business transactions made during May 2021. 

During May 2021, most of the States/UTs were under either complete or partial lockdown due to COVID. The e-way bill data for the month of May 2021 shows that during the month, 3.99 crore e-way bills were generated as compared to 5.88 crore in the month of April 2021, down by more than 30 per cent.

However, with the reduction in caseload and easing of lockdowns, the e-way bills generated during June 2021 is 5.5 crore, which indicates a recovery of trade and business. The daily average generation of e-way bill for the first two weeks of April 2021 was 20 lakh, which came down to 16 lakh in last week of April 2021 and further to 12 lakh in the two weeks between 9-22 May, 2021. 

Thereafter, the average generation of e-way bills has been increasing and has reached again to 20 lakh level since the week beginning 20 June. Therefore, it is expected that while the GST revenues have dipped during the month of June, the revenues will see an increase again from July 2021 onwards.
