1.The GST Council took a decision to discontinue the compensation cess effective from September 22, 2025 on all items except tobacco and related products. The cess levy on tobacco and related products was also removed from February 1, 2026. Accordingly, from the above period, there is No cess collection.
https://t.co/w0rw8in9TA view of the above, from the month of November 2025 (first tax period post GST rate rationalisation), GST revenue figures published in the public domain transparently showed compensation cess separately in a table below and the year-on-year growth was computed on the tax base consisting of CGST, SGST and IGST for the corresponding periods. A foot note was also carried as an ample disclosure.
3.A growth rate is meaningful only when it is computed on a comparable basis, that is, on the same set of levies on both sides of the comparison. Otherwise, it is like comparing apples and oranges.
4.The purpose of a growth figure is to show how the tax base has moved. The GST revenue figures published month on month reflect the correct picture of GST revenue performance, with full disclosure. Where a levy has ceased to exist in law, retaining it in the base measures something else altogether. It is neither arithmetically right nor makes any logical sense.
5.Therefore, any attempt to cherry-pick figures from two different tax bases is thoroughly misleading and mischievous. A fair analysis must compare like with like, instead of misleading our citizens by comparing two fundamentally different datasets.

Pakistan threatened Lord’s Test boycott after broadcaster Sky Sports telecast interview with Imran Khan’s two sons which was actually recorded at the Lord’s Long Room a day before the Test. PCB wanted SKY not to air the interview during Lunch break else they wouldn’t take the field post Lunch.
The 18-min interview done by Michael Atherton (one of the 21 captains to sign the letter to Pak PM) was shown and Pak did take the field too

Until 1991, India kept its economy largely closed and state-controlled. Licences, quotas and public-sector dominance suffocated private enterprise, leaving it with little room to contribute to India’s growth story.
1991–96: The balance-of-payments crisis pushed India to the brink. The choice was stark: open up or risk economic collapse. Licensing was dismantled, monopolies rolled back, FDI opened and private enterprise finally got room to scale.
Atal Bihari Vajpayee: Reform became a choice, not a compulsion. Telecom, insurance, roads, ports, aviation and power opened to private participation, creating entirely new markets and opportunities.
Manmohan Singh era: The opening became much more limited, largely around retail, real estate, construction and selected services. Several major sectors remained closed to meaningful private participation.
2014 onwards: The biggest wave of opening returned, defence, coal, railways, drones and space, with private capital and Indian entrepreneurs entering sectors once dominated by the State.
From a country where businesses needed permission to expand, India is moving towards one where more Indians can build.
Open More. Build More. Grow More.
India has achieved a rare milestone in banking:
For the first time, no listed Indian bank had a Net NPA above 1% in Q1 FY27.
A decade ago, Indian banks were buried under bad loans. The turnaround was driven by structural reforms:
>Asset Quality Review (2015)
Uncovered hidden stress.
>Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code (2016)
Strengthened recovery and credit discipline.
>PSB Recapitalisation (2015–19)
₹3.19 lakh crore+ recapitalisation helped strengthen PSB balance sheets.
>Bank Consolidation (2017–20)
Created stronger and more resilient banks.
>EASE Reforms (2018–present)
Continuous reforms to strengthen governance, risk management, and digital banking
>Stronger monitoring & risk management
Continuous reforms to strengthen governance, risk management, and digital banking.
Cleaner banks.
Stronger balance sheets.
More room to lend and support India’s growth.
In 1960, India's GDP per capita was just 61% of Sub-Saharan Africa's, and by 1990, the gap had widened further, with India at only 41%.
Yet the trajectory began to change dramatically after 2014.
- In 2013, India and Sub-Saharan Africa had almost identical GDPs at around $1.8 trillion.
- By 2016, India had crossedSub-Saharan Africa in GDP per capita for the first time.
- By 2024, India's per-capita GDP had risen to 171% of Sub-Saharan Africa's, while its overall economy had crossed $4 trillion, roughly twice the size of Sub-Saharan Africa's.
What was once a story of India trailing behind had become one of India decisively pulling ahead, powered by a decade of stronger growth, infrastructure, digitalisation and investment.
@egglime@india_plus_ Keep calling out people who call out hypocritical rankings with no logical link to on ground realities and believe data backed ranking with actual output. It only unites Indians more against such propaganda. We are proud Hindus. If sangh helps us against u, most welcome.
@alpha_defense The real echo chambers of tejas paglus is thinking that they are pro India/pro indigenization when they are writing a long "what about..." in response to a simple question that where are 7 Tejas mk1a. You don't love Tejas more than others. Don't live in that delusion please.
@HizamAbbasi@RiteshShekhar5@engKhalid511 India was hitting air bases inside Pakistan at will. Pakistan has to come begging for ceasefire. What does detterance looks like?
India's per capita GDP as % of developing countries
1980: 30%
2014: 29%
Dr. Manmohan Singh put us behind where we were in 1980!
In between, Vajpayee took it to 34% and then Dr. Singh took us down
Today it is 38%
But Dr. Singh did press conferences...
People like Akash Banerjee will never let India develop
Be it dams or data centers, they object to building anything
Yes, USA can afford to say no to lots of things
USA has $90,000 per capita
India has $3000 per capita
How will we get richer?
By Insta reels & AISA slogans?
