Mani, Senior Director, Deloitte India said: "The sharp increase in the collections indicates the resumption of economic activities in June and will raise expectations of better collections in the coming months.""The improvement in GST collections both on domestic transactions and imports, accompanied by the fact that major producing states have shown significant increases, would indicate that the economic activities have resumed across the country," Mani added.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
