  • [16 MAY, 2000] RAJYA SABHA Following Message Received From
    [16 MAY, 2000] RAJYA SABHA following message received from the Lok Sabha, signed by the Secretary-General of the Lok Sabha : "I am directed to inform you that Lok Sabha, at its sitting held on the 15th May, 2000, has adopted the following motion further extending the time for presentation of the Report of the Joint Committee of the Houses on the Central Vigilance Commission Bill, 1999:- MOTION "That this House do further extend the time for presentation of the Report of the Joint Committee on the Central Vigilance Commission Bill, 1999 upto the last day of the Monsoon Session 2000." THE CONSTITUTION (EIGHTY-NINTH AMENDMENT) BILL, 2000 - contd. SHRI S. RAMACHANDRAN PILLAI (Kerala): Mr. Chairman, Sir, I rise to support this Bill. This Bill deals with an important aspect of the federal polity of our country, the Centre-States financial relations. While supporting the Bill, I want to point out that the Bill has many imperfections and infirmities. I support this Bill because it takes care of one of the inherent constitutional weaknesses in the financial arrangement between the Centre and the States. One of the consistent complaints from the States is that the States have to discharge a number of responsibilities with regard to development, administration and social welfare activities. But the Centre has taken most of the elastic resources of revenue and the States are prevented from having buoyancy in the economy. Certainly, the present Bill brings all die taxable revenues of the Centre into the Divisible Pool. It is a welcome step, if the Bill is genuinely implemented.
