India's tax collection growth for FY26 (YTD) stands at just 2.2 percent. Corporate tax leads at 4.6 percent, but non-corporate tax growth remains weak at 0.5 percent. The massive 86.0 percent drop in ‘other taxes’ marks a significant decline. The data points to a cooling in the equity market's contribution to revenue, as Securities Transaction Tax (STT) growth turned negative for the period, registering a 0.7 percent contraction.
