A new research paper by the National Institute of Public Finance and Policy finds that the revenue shortfall for the GST compensation payable to States in 2020-21 could be about Rs 1.95 lakh crore in the best-case scenario, significantly lower than the Rs 2.35 lakh crore estimated by the GST Council

What are the key findings?

  • In a paper titled ‘The Pandemic and GST Revenue: An Assessment for Union and States’ it is estimated that even in the worst-case scenario, the revenue shortfall for GST compensation to States won’t exceed Rs 2.45 lakh crore.
  • As per the paper, even after decline in the spread of Covid in India,  the economic impact of the pandemic is still evolving and any estimate on revenue impact, thus, may not be free from shortcoming and constraints.
  • It states that the maximum GST revenue gaps this year are expected for Goa, Punjab, Chhattisgarh, Kerala and Chhattisgarh, the exercise suggested.
  • According to it, the revenue gap in State GST collections is expected to vary between Rs 2.85 lakh crore and Rs 3.27 lakh crore. 
    • GST compensation cess collection in FY21 is expected to vary between Rs 82,242 crore and Rs 90,386 crore. 
    • Therefore, shortfall in GST compensation fund is expected to vary between Rs 1.95 lakh crore to Rs 2.45 lakh crore
