"No One Can Say That This Government Is Only Earning From GST": Nirmala Sitharaman

"This year I think direct taxes have also shown such buoyancy. You're able to see that more income is also being generated through direct taxation. So, it's not that we rely on GST, which is indirect tax, and think that our coffers are getting filled. Not at all," Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said after the presentation of Budget 2023, adding that direct taxation has shown such buoyancy that no one can say that this government is only earning from GST, indirect tax.
