During this month the government has settled Rs 15,014 crore to CGST and Rs 11,653 crore to SGST from IGST as regular settlement. 

The revenues for the month of May 2021 are 65 per cent higher than the GST revenues in the same month last year. During the month, revenues from import of goods were 56 per cent higher and the revenues from the domestic transaction (including import of services) are 69 per cent higher than the revenues from these sources during the same month last year. 

This would be the eighth month in a row that GST revenues have crossed Rs 1 lakh crore mark. This is despite the fact that most of the States have been under strict lockdown due to the pandemic.  

In addition, while the taxpayers with turnover above Rs 5 crore had to file their returns by June 4, which they would have otherwise filed by May 20. 

Smaller taxpayers with turnover less than Rs 5 crore still have time till the first week of July to file the returns without any late fee and interest and the revenue from these taxpayers is deferred till then. The actual revenues for the month of May 2021, thus would be higher and would be known when all the extended dates expire.
