Net direct tax collection increases 13% to ₹12.12 lakh crore in the period ending September 17, driven by higher advance tax collections, according to the available reports.
One outlet reports that gross direct tax collection grows 15% to over ₹14.32 lakh crore. It also breaks down the net collections, stating corporate tax mop-up rises about 19.48% to roughly ₹5.56 lakh crore, while non-corporate tax from individuals and HUFs increases around 6% to more than ₹6.16 lakh crore.
Across the coverage, the common point is the upward pace of direct tax receipts by the specified date, with advance tax playing a key role. The outlets differ mainly in emphasis: one highlights net growth and component-wise trends, while the other foregrounds both net and gross figures and attributes the rise to stronger advance tax mop-up.
