(d) the effective steps taken by the Union Government for the timely payment of GST dues and funds to the State Government of Tamil Nadu in the future?
ANSWER
THE MINISTER OF STATE IN MINISTRY OF FINANCE (SHRI PANKAJ CHAUDHARY)
(a) & (b): The details of CGST, SGST and IGST collections (State-wise) during the last three years are as per Annexure I
(c) & (d): As per the provisions of the GST (Compensation to States) Act, 2017, GST compensation for financial years 2017-18, 2018-19 and 2019-20 has already been paid to all States including Tamil Nadu. The economic impact of the pandemic has led to higher compensation requirement due to lower GST collection and at the same time lower collection of GST compensation cess. GST compensation of Rs. 9845.4278 crore has been released to Tamil Nadu to partly meet the compensation payable for the period April’20 to March’21 as the amount in GST Compensation Fund was not adequate to meet the full compensation requirement.
The issue of GST Compensation to States has been deliberated in the 41st and 42nd GST Council meetings. Accordingly, in FY 20-21, Centre had borrowed Rs. 1.1 lakh crore under a special window and passed on to the States as back-to-back loan to help the States to meet the resource gap due to short-release of compensation on account of inadequate balance in the Compensation Fund. This arrangement has been finalized after detailed deliberations with the States and all States have opted for this arrangement. Subsequent to deliberations in the 43rd GST Council meeting, Centre has borrowed Rs. 1.59 lakh crores from the market through special window in current FY and passed it to the States/ UTs as a back-to-back loan as was done in last year. The quantum of funds released to Tamil Nadu State as loan is Rs.6241 crore for FY 2020-21 and Rs. 8095.25 crore for FY 2021-22. In addition, depending on the amount available in the Compensation Fund, Centre has also been releasing the regular GST compensation to States to make up for GST revenue shortfall. Taking into account, the GST Compensation released from Compensation Fund as well as back-to-back loan released in FY 2020-21 and FY 2021-22, GST compensation of Rs. 2894 crore and Rs. 2049 crore is pending to Tamil Nadu for period April’20 to March’21 and April-September, 2021 respectively as per provisional figures.
