Net GST accrues to the State and reflects consumption within the State. This increase is driven by improved tax compliance, stronger enforcement, enhanced revenue monitoring and broader economic activity. This growth was achieved against a challenging backdrop of the GST 2.0 rate rationalisation reforms.
New initiatives introduced during the year - AI-based data analytics, AI-powered scrutiny, AI-based IGST reversals, UPI-based analytics enforcement, DISCOM-linked registration verification and Aadhaar-integrated expansion of Profession Tax - generated significant incremental revenue, strengthening September 2026 collections.
In September 2026, Andhra Pradesh’s net GST (post-settlement SGST) grew 14.10%, against the national post-settlement average of 8% - ahead of Karnataka (14%), Telangana (14%) and Kerala (9%), as per the GSTN monthly report.
The Government of India settled IGST of Rs 1,927.62 crore for September 2026 with the State of Andhra Pradesh, which is Rs 322.92 crore, i.e. 20.12% higher than the settlement for the corresponding period in 2025, which was Rs 1,604.69 crore.
