Mizoram recorded its highest proportion growth at 52 per cent in GST collection in April, while four of the eight northeastern states — Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, and Meghalaya — registered negative growth in the month under review as compared to the corresponding period of the previous year.
Lalduhoma said that the finance, planning, and taxation departments took various steps, leading to a record jump in GST collection in April.
