THE CENTRE'S GROSS tax revenue (before devolution to states) grew by asubdued 2.8% to ₹18.65 lakh crore in the first half of FY26, dragged down by lacklustre performance in both direct and indirect taxes.

- FE BUREAU

This pace falls well short of the 12.5% annual growth required to meet the FY26 target of ₹42.7 lakh crore.

Corporate tax collections inched up just 1% to ₹4.7 lakh crore, far below the 10% growth needed to reach the full-year goal of ₹10.82 lakh crore.
