The West Bengal government has said the Centre owes it Rs 2,409.96 crore as GST compensation, "disagreeing" with Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's statement about the state not submitting audited figures.

Replying to assertions that West Bengal's dues have been neglected, Sitharaman had said in Parliament on Friday that GST compensation to states is released when the audited figures are provided, but West Bengal has not submitted those since 2017.
