New Delhi, July 7 (SocialNews.XYZ) India's E-way bill generation under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in June this year registered a robust 14.5 per cent increase to 136.77 million from 119.46 million in the same month of the previous year, reflecting the rising level of economic activity in the country.
On a sequential basis, e-way bill generation increased 0.5 per cent from 136.08 million in the previous month.
E-way bills are mandatory for the transportation of consignments valued at more than Rs 50,000 and are widely tracked as a high-frequency indicator of domestic trade activity, supply chain movement, and GST compliance.
"The E-way bill numbers for June point to sustained resilience in goods movement and steady GST compliance. The fact that generation stayed near record highs suggests that domestic trade activity remains healthy, while also reflecting the growing formalisation of the economy," said Harpreet Singh, Partner, Deloitte.
On June 15, the GST Council’s updated E-Way Bill regulations came into force for logistics operations. These changes collectively tighten the E-Way Bill system at both ends of every shipment from the moment a bill is generated to the moment goods are confirmed delivered. The tightening of regulations is aimed at eliminating fake billing, stopping ITC fraud, and creating an unbroken digital audit trail from supplier to end-consumer.
Meanwhile, the government’s Goods and Services Tax (GST) revenue grew 13.9 per cent to Rs 1.95 lakh crore in June 2026, the highest growth rate in 13 months.
According to provisional data released by the Ministry of Finance, net GST collections, after adjusting for refunds, rose 11.2 per cent to Rs.1.62 lakh crore from Rs 1.46 lakh crore in June 2025. Growth was primarily driven by a 34.6 per cent increase in GST revenues from imports, which reached Rs 60,038 crore, while GST collections from domestic transactions rose 6.5 per cent to Rs 1.35 lakh crore. Refund disbursements also increased 29.1 per cent to Rs 32,436 crore, supporting business liquidity while maintaining robust revenue growth.
During April-June FY27, gross GST collections reached Rs 6.32 lakh crore, registering an 8.4 per cent increase over the corresponding period of the previous financial year. Domestic GST collections stood at Rs 4.54 lakh crore, while GST revenue from imports grew 26.2 per cent to Rs 1.77 lakh crore. Net GST collections for the period amounted to Rs 5.40 lakh crore after refunds of Rs 91,482 crore.
