💨 Abstract

The central government has collected over Rs 5.7 lakh crore in excess cesses and surcharges since 2019-20, with Rs 1.32 lakh crore expected to remain unspent by 2026. The collections have increased steadily since the Modi government, but their share in gross tax collections has barely changed.
