New Delhi: Gross GST collection increased 7.5 per cent to about Rs1.96 lakh crore in July on higher domestic revenues. Gross Goods and Services Tax (GST) mop-up was Rs1.82 lakh crore in July 2024. Last month, the collection was Rs1.84 lakh crore. The gross domestic revenue grew 6.7 per cent to Rs1.43 lakh crore, while tax from imports rose 9.5 per cent to Rs52,712 crore. GST Refunds shot up 66.8 per cent year-on-year to Rs27,147 crore. The net GST revenue stood at Rs1.69 lakh crore in July 2025, recording a 1.7 per cent year-on-year growth. EY India Tax Partner Saurabh Agarwal said that despite some global pressures and temporary dips, the overall trend shows a stable consumption pattern and consistent growth trajectory of the economy. 'The government's timely refund process is also a great help to businesses, ensuring they have the working capital they need,' Agarwal added.

CoinDCX crypto heist: Bengaluru engineer held in Rs 379 crore case, police uncover suspicious freelance work

A Bengaluru-based software engineer has been arrested for his alleged involvement in a massive Rs 379-crore cryptocurrency heist targeting CoinDCX, a popular Indian crypto exchange. Police say the breakthrough came after a formal complaint was filed by Neblio Technologies, the parent company of CoinDCX. Rahul Agarwal, 30, a resident of Carmelaram in Bengaluru and originally from Haridwar, Uttarakhand, was taken into custody by the Whitefield CEN Crime Police on July 26. He was arrested after investigators found that confidential login credentials linked to his office laptop had been used during the security breach. How the heist began: One USDT, then Rs 379 crore According to a report, the case began unfolding when CoinDCX's vice-president for public policy, Hardeep Singh, approached police with concerns about unusual platform activity. At 2:37 am on July 19, an unidentified person accessed the CoinDCX system and moved a single USDT (a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar) to an external wallet. Hours later, the breach intensified. By the time the activity was flagged, a total of around $44 million (roughly Rs 379 crore) had been transferred to six separate crypto wallets. This large-scale siphoning prompted an internal investigation by the company. Police and internal probes point to Agarwal's laptop The company's internal investigation revealed that only one device appeared to be compromised — Rahul Agarwal's official laptop. Based on this finding, police seized the device and began questioning Agarwal. While denying direct involvement in the theft, Agarwal did admit to 'moonlighting' — working freelance projects for multiple clients outside of his official job. He claimed that while he received tasks from three to four private clients, he was unaware of their identities or the nature of their access. Freelance work, WhatsApp call from Germany, and a bank deposit Further scrutiny of Agarwal's activities revealed a Rs 15 lakh deposit in his bank account, the source of which remains unclear. When questioned, Agarwal reportedly told investigators that he had received a WhatsApp call from a German number. The caller allegedly instructed him to complete certain files that were sent to him, though he did not clarify how the files were used or who had sent them. The police have not ruled out the possibility that the breach could have been carried out remotely using Agarwal's credentials, either through malware or misuse by external actors during his freelance assignments. Ongoing investigation and unanswered questions While Agarwal remains in custody, police are continuing to investigate the origin of the German connection, the Rs 15 lakh bank deposit, and whether the theft involved any additional individuals or international links. Authorities are also examining how the hacker was able to escalate access from a single USDT transaction to a full-scale multi-crore theft, and whether internal lapses in cybersecurity protocols at CoinDCX contributed to the breach. As of now, the Rs 379-crore stolen amount remains untraced, and the identities behind the six crypto wallets used in the heist are under investigation.
