India's net direct tax mopup rises 11.76%

India's net direct tax collections have risen 11.76% year-on-year to ₹14.42 lakh crore as of November 10. This growth is largely due to increased corporate tax receipts and a significant rise in securities transaction tax collections. Refunds have also increased by 26% year-on-year, amounting to ₹3.08 lakh crore in total. The government has achieved 53.5% of its direct tax target for FY27 so far.
