3 October 2026
Between April and September 2026, Kerala's GST revenue after IGST settlement rose 18.8% to Rs 19,583 crore, from Rs 16,482 crore a year earlier.
Across all states the increase was 16%, with combined collections of Rs 5.79 lakh crore.
Kerala's own SGST collections grew 13.8% to Rs 8,970 crore, against 5.8% nationally.
In September 2026, post-settlement revenue rose 9% to Rs 3,451 crore and own SGST rose 8% to Rs 1,481 crore.
April-September 2026 is the first April-September period fully under the revised GST rate structure introduced in September 2025, so it is compared with a year-earlier period wholly under the old structure; the figures are provisional.
In plain words
