Assam GST Collections Surge 15 Percent in June

Guwahati: Assam pulled in 1,437 crore in GST revenue during June. This marks a 15 percent jump compared to the 1,255 crore collected in the same month last year. The state beat the national average of 9 percent. Assam now sits among the top-performing major states in the country.
