GST Filing & Collection Statistics for 2026
GST turned every registered Indian business into a monthly filer. That single change is what makes bank reconciliation a recurring deadline rather than a year-end exercise: returns are filed against books, books are built from bank data, and the bank data has to be right before anything downstream is.
The figures below come from published collection data and government releases. Every one links to where it was reported.

The scale of the compliance base
1.51 crore active registrations means 1.51 crore sets of books being reconciled against bank activity on a recurring cycle. The step that consumes the hours is getting the bank statement into the ledger — posted as vouchers rather than typed.

Between October 2025 and February 2026 gross collections swung by more than ₹25,000 crore month to month. For a practice, that variability shows up as uneven monthly workload — which is why a converter whose credits expire at month end quietly costs you money in the quiet months.
₹1,95,936 crore
collected in October 2025 — the strongest month in the recent run.

collected in November 2025 — the weakest in the same period.

Returns are only as good as the ledger they're filed from, and the ledger is only as good as the bank data in it. Reconciling before you file catches genuine differences instead of typing errors — the sequence is set out in reconciling a bank statement before GST filing.
