Chandigarh, May 2- Under the leadership of Chief Minister, Sh. Manohar Lal, Haryana is continuously doing excellent work in GST collection. According to the data released by the Ministry of Finance, there has been an increase of 22 percent in the State's GST collection this time as compared to last year.

The state's GST collection was 8,197 in the year 2022 and now this has increased to 10,035 in the year 2023. Compared to Haryana’s GST collection with the neighbouring states, Punjab has an increase of 16 percent, 17 percent in Himachal, 8 percent in Delhi and 5 percent in Rajasthan. These figures clearly show that Haryana’s growth rate is certainly more than these states.

Expressing happiness over the figures released by the Government of India, the Chief Minister said that Haryana has made remarkable progress in GST collection, which shows that the state is progressing.

Haryana is one of the leading states on the parameters of economic development.  The state government is giving all required facilities to big industries as well as Micro, Small and Medium industries. The state government has also improved power availability and connectivity to promote industries. A strong network of roads and railways is spread across the state, asserted Sh. Manohar Lal.

The Chief Minister said that the GST system implemented in the country on the concept of One Nation-One Tax is very effective.  Simplification of the GST process has not only benefited the entrepreneurs, but the revenue of the government is also increasing.

He said that more than 50 percent of Haryana falls in the National Capital Region and the state government is developing this area as a logistics hub.  This will increase the immense possibilities of investment in the state.  Besides this, emphasis is also being laid on creating quality infrastructure, ensuring ease of doing business and offering an industry-friendly environment in Haryana, said Sh. Manohar Lal.
