In a Lok Sabha reply dated 18 August 2025, the Ministry of Finance provided details on GST collections and compliance in the Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu. The Union Territory recorded a total gross GST collection of ₹27,900 crore between 2017–18 and July 2025. Annual collections rose from ₹2,140 crore in 2017–18 to ₹4,410 crore in 2024–25, with ₹1,652 crore collected up to July 2025 in the current financial year. The figures reflect consistent growth, barring a dip in 2020–21 during the pandemic period.

On compliance, the number of active taxpayers in the Union Territory has gradually increased over the years. From 8,121 taxpayers at the initial stage in July 2017, the number reached 16,168 by March 2025. Of these, the majority were under the regular (normal) GST category, while a smaller proportion opted for the composition scheme.

To further strengthen GST compliance in the Union Territory, the government has implemented several reforms on the recommendations of the GST Council. These include mandatory use of e-way bills, matching of input tax credit (ITC), e-invoicing requirements for business-to-consumer suppliers, use of machine-based data analytics, Aadhaar authentication for registration, and targeted enforcement actions such as calibrated measures against non-filers, stop filers, and risky taxpayers.

The reply highlights both the steady revenue growth from the Union Territory and the government's ongoing compliance-driven measures aimed at improving tax administration and curbing revenue leakage.
