Punjab Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema on Wednesday said the AAP government has successfully stabilised the state's declining economy during its three-year tenure. He emphasised that consistent efforts are underway to further enhance Punjab's performance in gross state domestic product (GSDP) and other key economic indicators.
He was addressing a gathering at an event here.
He noted that Punjab now ranks among the top three states in the country for tax compliance. The state is registering remarkable growth in goods and services tax collections, overall revenue and expenditure, he said.
Highlighting the government's fiscal achievements, the minister said Punjab has surpassed the total GST compensation cess collected during the previous regime (2017-22).
Over the last three years, the state received a total of Rs 63,000 crore in GST compensation cess.
