Daily e-way bill generation for goods transportation under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) system came in at 22.71 lakh for the week ended September 19, up 10.4% over the daily average for the previous week, reflecting a pick-up in economic activity ahead of the festival season.

Thanks to the easing of lockdowns, e-way bill generation by businesses rose to 6.59 crore in August from 6.42 crore in July and 5.5 crore in June.
The gross GST collections came in at Rs 1.12 lakh crore in August (largely July transactions), up 30% on the year but down 3.8% on the month, signalling an ongoing economic recovery but suggesting that activities aren’t picking up evenly across sectors. GST collections, after posting above the Rs 1-lakh-crore mark for eight months in a row, had dropped below Rs 1 lakh crore in June 2021 due to the second wave of Covid-19.
