GST Collection At Rs 1.29 Lakh Crore In December

New Delhi: GST revenue collected in December 2021 was over Rs 1.29 lakh crore, 13 per cent higher than the same month last year, the Finance Ministry said on Saturday. Though the collection was lower than Rs 1.31 lakh crore mopped up in November, December is the sixth month in a row when revenue from goods sold and services rendered stood at over Rs 1 lakh crore.

The gross GST revenue collected in the month of December 2021 is Rs 1,29,780 crore, of which CGST is Rs 22,578 crore, SGST is Rs 28,658 crore, IGST is Rs 69,155 crore (including Rs 37,527 crore collected on import of goods) and cess is Rs 9,389 crore (including Rs 614 crore collected on import of goods),โ€ the Finance Ministry said in a statement.

The revenues for December 2021 are 13 per cent higher than the GST revenues in the same month last year (Rs 1.15 lakh crore) and 26 per cent higher than December 2019.

The average monthly gross GST collection for the third quarter (October-December) of the current year has been Rs 1.30 lakh crore against the average monthly collection of Rs 1.10 lakh crore and Rs 1.15 lakh crore in the first and second quarter, respectively.

โ€œCoupled with economic recovery, anti-evasion activities, especially action against fake billers have been contributing to the enhanced GST. The improvement in revenue has also been due to various rate rationalisation measures undertaken by the Council to correct inverted duty structure,โ€ the ministry said.

It hoped that the positive trend in the revenues will continue in the last quarter as well.

6,000 Organizations Taken Off from The FCRA List By MHA

Ashmita Chhabria

New Delhi: From the list of registered organisations under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) six thousand organisations including Oxfam India, Common Cause, Jamia Milia Islamia, Nehru Memorial Museum and Library (NMML), Kolkata-based Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute and the India Islamic Cultural Centre (IICC) have been taken off by Ministry Of Home Affairs. This will come in effect from January 1, 2022.

The reason behind the removal of such a large number of organisations was either they didnโ€™t apply for renewal of the licence needed to receive foreign funds, or the Ministry of Home Affairs didnโ€™t renew it, a senior government official said.

The removal of 6,003 organisations has brought down the list of FCRA registered organisations in the country from 22,832 to 16,829, according to the home ministryโ€™s dashboard of organisations considered โ€œalive or activeโ€.

The dashboard also listed 12,580 organisations that cease to have their FCRA registration as of January 1. But officials indicated this was a cumulative list and includes organisations that lost their FCRA registration under similar conditions in previous years.

Among the prominent organisations which, according to the home ministryโ€™s records, do not hold an FCRA registration any longer are Hamdard Education Society, Indian Institute of Technology (Hauz Khas), Indira Gandhi National Centre for Arts (IGNCA), Indian Institute of Public Administration (IIPA), National Foundation for Communal Harmony (NFCH), Delhi College of Engineering, Goa Football Association, Press Institute of India, The Lepra India Trust and Indian Institute of Management (Calcutta), Medical Council of India, Emmanuel Hospital Association, which runs over a dozen hospitals across India, Tuberculosis Association of India, Vishwa Dharamayatan, Maharishi Ayurveda Pratishthan, National Federation of Fishermenโ€™s Cooperatives Ltd, Bhartiya Sanskriti Parishad, DAV College Trust and Management Society, Godrej Memorial Trust etc.
