  • Fourteenth Finance Commission
    Fourteenth Finance Commission Y Venugopal Reddy Finance Commission - Concepts and definitions Tax Devolution One of the core tasks of a Finance Commission as stipulated in Article 280 (3) (a) of the Constitution is to make recommendations regarding the distribution between the Union and the states of the net proceeds of taxes. This is the most important task of any Finance Commission, as the share of states in the net proceeds of Union taxes is the predominant channel of resource transfer from the Centre to states. Divisible Pool The divisible pool is that portion of gross tax revenue which is distributed between the Centre and the States. The divisible pool consists of all taxes, except surcharges and cess levied for specific purpose, net of collection charges. Cntd. Fiscal capacity/Income distance The income distance criterion was first used by Twelfth FC, measured by per capita GSDP as a proxy for the distance between states in tax capacity. When so proxied, the procedure implicitly applies a single average tax-toGSDP ratio to determine fiscal capacity distance between states. The Thirteenth FC changed the formula slightly and recommended the use of separate averages for measuring tax capacity, one for general category states (GCS) and another for special category states (SCS). Fiscal discipline Fiscal discipline as a criterion for tax devolution was used by Eleventh and Twelfth FC to provide an incentive to states managing their finances prudently. The criterion was continued in the Thirteenth FC as well without any change. The index of fiscal discipline is arrived at by comparing improvements in the ratio of own revenue receipts of a state to its total revenue expenditure relative to the corresponding average across all states.

  • Social Welfare Through Centrally Sponsored Schemes
    SOCIAL WELFARE THROUGH CENTRALLY SPONSORED SCHEMES Govind Bhattacharjee (Published in Indian Journal of Public Audit and Accountability, New Delhi, June 2014) The constitutional mechanism of the Finance Commission and extra-constitutional mechanism of the now-defunct Planning Commission, which was created by a resolution of the Government of India in March 1950, were both created to address the problem of striking an equitable balance between the socio-economic growth of individual states and the disparity that exists between them. The Finance Commission strives to achieve this by transferring resources from the richer to the poorer states through the agency of the Central Government, while the Planning Commission sought to addressed this problem by allocating Central resources through its Five Year Plans to meet the growth needs of the individual states - by ensuring higher per capita allocation to the poorer states. During the 1950s and 1960s, about two thirds of the Central resources thus used to be transferred to the states through the Planning Commission, which share was subsequently reduced to little less than half before the Planning Commission was itself disbanded earlier this year. Finance Commission recommendations cover both the vertical transfer from the Centre to the states as well as horizontal transfers among the states, from the richer to the poorer states, hence these are equalization transfers. Rangarajan and Srivastava (2011) pointed out that in the vertical transfer of resources from the centre to the states, there has been a long term stability. While the relevant shares and ratios have undergone changes, the relative shares of the centre and the States have more or less remained stable, especially since the Seventh Finance Commission (1979-84).
