Govt facilities boosted industrial growth, GST collection: CM
He was referring to India's gross GST collection of Rs 2 lakh crore in May this year.
The CM said, "Besides the fear of getting punished, people have started paying their taxes because they have realised that the tax money is being utilised for their welfare. Government schemes are benefiting every deserving citizen. This is the reason the country's tax revenue has increased in recent times."
Patel said that facilities offered by the state govt are also contributing to the growth of industries and hence a resultant increase in GST collection.
"India's GST collection was more than Rs 2 lakh crore in just one month (May). A trader can pay tax only when his business does well. You will need good roads, electricity and water connection at industrial estates for running a business. Only then will you earn well and eventually pay taxes.
Therefore, facilities are also important," the CM said.

Myanmar refugees to face deportation if convicted of drug offences: Mizo group
Aizawl: Young Mizo Association (YMA) sub-headquarters in Champhai district, bordering Myanmar, has issued new directives to Myanmar refugees residing in the area. The guidelines state that any refugee convicted of drug trafficking or possession will be deported to Myanmar after serving their jail term. This week, the YMA sub-headquarters outlined rules prohibiting refugees from forming associations or groups based on sub-tribes. The move aims to ensure uniform guidelines and equal access to support and maintenance. "They (refugees) should enrol themselves in the respective YMA units of their localities or villages and submit their Myanmar identity cards to YMA leaders. Whoever violates the local social guidelines are liable to be punished," the directives said. If a refugee intends to relocate, the current YMA unit must notify the new unit in advance. Refugees are barred from running businesses that require govt permits or from owning land or buildings. On Wednesday, the Aizawl-based NGO coordination committee — a coalition of major civil society groups and student organisations — expressed deep concern over the emergence of sub-tribe sentiments among refugees amid ongoing ethnic conflicts in Myanmar and Manipur. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Up to 70% off | Libas Purple Days Sale Libas Undo At a meeting held in Aizawl, the committee underscored that Mizoram has long been a haven of peaceful coexistence among Zo ethnic tribes. It urged the public and refugees to prevent the rise of divisive, tribe-based thinking that could threaten state harmony. The statement follows recent armed clashes in Myanmar's Chin state between Chin sub-tribes, which forced hundreds of refugees into Mizoram. In neighbouring Manipur, tensions remain high, primarily involving the Meitei community and the Kuki and Zomi groups — ethnic communities closely tied to the Mizos. Past episodes have shown that political divisions can cause friction even between culturally aligned groups like the Kuki and Zomi. Champhai district police officials said nearly 4,000 refugees who had entered Zokhawthar village — fleeing violence in Khawmawi, Rihkhawdar, and nearby Chin state villages — have now returned, following signs of peace.
