As of July 13, India’s net direct tax collections reached ₹6.51 lakh crore, compared to ₹5.59 lakh crore during the same period in the previous financial year. This represents a year-on-year growth of 16.4%. The increase was driven by higher corporate tax collections and improved non-corporate tax receipts, reflecting stronger corporate profitability, better tax compliance, rising incomes, and a healthy equity market. This growth was achieved despite the government issuing significantly higher tax refunds, highlighting the strength of overall tax revenue performance and the country's improving fiscal position.
