However, among them, it is the Finance Commission awards that are most important, both because of its size and the mandatory character of these recommendations. When the Thirteenth Finance Commission was formed in 2008, the Centre for Economic Policy and Public Finance (CEPPF) had already been established by the Government of Bihar in the Asian Development Research Institute (ADRI). As such, the CEPPF was entrusted with the responsibility of preparing the memorandum of the state government, to be presented to the Commission. For the three earlier Commissions, ADRI had presented a memorandum to the Tenth and Eleventh Finance Commission on its own behalf and, for the Twelfth Finance Commission, it had prepared and submitted a memorandum on behalf of all the political parties and professional organisations in the state.

  • Operative Federalism
    P: ISSN NO.: 2394-0344 E: ISSN NO.: 2455 - 0817 Vol-II * Issue- X* March- 2016 Co- operative Federalism: National Perspective (Centre- State Financial Relations) Abstract The devolution of resources from the union to the States is a salient feature of the system of federal finance of India. Apart from their share of taxes and duties, the state Governments receives various grants and loans from the centre for various development and non- development purposes. In India, federal financial transfers are made through three channels. They are: Finance Commission, Planning Commission (NITI Aayog) and Central Ministries. The Finance Commission transfers are most important of these three. To fulfil the need for a systematic and flexible mechanism of transfer of resources from the centre to the states. Article 280(I) of the constitution of India provides for the appointment of a finance commission, and thereafter at the expiry of every five years or early, as the president of India may consider necessary. It makes recommendations to the president as to: (1)The distribution between the Union and the States of the net proceeds of taxes which are to be or may be divided between them, and the allocation between the states as the respective share of such proceeds. (2) The principles which should govern the grants-in-aid of the revenues of the States in need of such assistance out of the consolidated fund of India. (3) Any other matter referred to the commission by the president in the interest of sound finance. The terms of reference have differed from Commission to Commission, depending upon the circumstances and Tapan Kumar Shandilya requirements.

  • The Report of the Tenth Finance Commission
    Working Paper No. 129 The report of the Tenth Finance Commission by S. Guhan Madras Institute of Development Studies 79, Second Main Road, Gandhi Nagar Adyar, Chennai 600 020 April 1995 TITLE OF PAPER : THE REPORT OF THE TENTH FINANCE COMMISSION AUTHOR'S NAME AND INSTITUTIONAL AFFILIATION S. Guhan Madras Institute of Development Studies 79, II Main Road Gandhinagar Adyar Madras 600 020 • ABSTRACT The Working Paper contains a critical assessment of the Report of the Tenth Finance Commission. The Report relates to transfers from the Centre to the States during 1995-2000 and was placed in Parliament on 15 March 1995. Over the previous nine Finance Commissions, whose •award' periods collectively cover a span of 44 years (19.51-95), some general trends have evolved in respect of Issues such as plan and non­ plan revenue account transfers to the States, •vertical' shares from the Centre to the States as a whole in the two taxes (viz., personal income taxes and basic duties of Union excise) shareable under the Constitution, the 'horizontal' or inter-se distribution of tax shares among the States and specific deficit grants to States which are left with post-devolution revenue def iclts. The Working Pape:- situates and evaluates the recommendations of the Tenth Finance Commission in this historical framework. Conceptually, the most interesting part of the Report is the 'Alternative Scheme for Devolution' proposed by the Commission. The Working Paper argues that it is inadequate and flawed. The author has outlined ' modifications to the Commissions' proposal which can result in a more logical, comprehensive and equitable restructuring of Centre-State fiscal transfers.
