Haryana Registers the Highest 21% Growth in Net SGST Collection Nationwide

During the meeting, the Chief Minister also reviewed the value-added tax (VAT) and CST. The Chief Minister was informed that VAT is applicable on six items in Haryana: petrol, diesel, liquor, PAG, CNG, and CST items. There has been a notable increase in VAT collection up to November 2025-26, largely due to the One-Time Settlement (OTS) Scheme-2025. The scheme led to a 60.99% increase in CST collection. After the scheme ended on September 27, 2025, the department launched a special recovery campaign, recovering ₹48.12 crore in October-November 2025. Officials also reported that the department has developed a VAT monitoring dashboard, which tracks VAT payments in real time. The system automatically alerts field officers in case of delays, helping them take timely action. The Chief Minister instructed that all districts regularly use this dashboard to ensure greater efficiency in the department’s functioning. It was reported that by November 30, 2025, excise revenue for the financial year 2025-26 had reached ₹9,370.28 crore, compared to ₹8,629.46 crore for the same period last year. The department presented details of district-wise and item-wise license fees, excise fees, bottling fees, permit fees, import duties, and VAT on indigenous liquor. The Chief Minister directed that districts with lower collections should increase monitoring, speed up inspections, and take timely corrective actions. Additionally, assets worth ₹125 crore were seized, ₹46.66 crore was recovered during the current policy year, and an automatic interest calculation system for delayed license fee payments led to a mandatory recovery of ₹16.46 crore. The department also reported progress in the QR-based track-and-trace system, hologram certification, ANPR cameras and boom barriers at manufacturing units, telemetry-based real-time monitoring in distilleries, and the online licensing module. The Chief Minister directed that these digital reforms be implemented swiftly, and their impact be regularly reviewed to ensure visible improvements in transparency, compliance, and service delivery. Appreciating the department’s revenue performance and digital reforms, the Chief Minister emphasized the state’s commitment to establishing a transparent, tech-driven, and citizen-friendly tax and excise administration, which will contribute significantly to the state’s economic growth. The meeting was attended by the Chief Minister’s Principal Secretary Rajesh Khullar, the Commissioner and Secretary of the Excise and Taxation Department Ashima Barad, Commissioner of Excise and Taxation Vinay Pratap Singh, and other officials.
