  • Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 the Thirteenth Finance Commission
    1 Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Thirteenth Finance Commission has the unique opportunity to review and draw inferences from nearly six decades of federalism in public finance management of the nation. Based on such inferences, a much needed course correction can be initiated, reversing a trend that has been eroding the very concept of fiscal federalism. Government of Kerala would earnestly plead for such a focus in the work of this Commission. 1.2 Articles of the Constitution between 268 and 275 have designed a well-structured system whereby States get benefit from the Centre’s taxation power. The purpose is clear from the wording of Article 275 which is the final residual Article in this structure. Aid to the revenues of States is what the makers of Constitution had in mind. This really gives Finance Commission the authority to deal with the entire area where States’ revenues are applied – not just one part like non-plan revenue account expenditure. But Commissions chose to confine themselves to that area (with only one exception in recent times – Second report of the Ninth Finance Commission covering the period 1990- 95). Over the years, somehow it came to be accepted that Finance Commissions’ main task is to try and balance the non-plan revenue account of Stat es. 1.3 Whenever Commissions chose (or were asked) to look into other aspects, it was either for providing supplementary provisions for developmental expenditure (like special problem grants) or admonish States and guide them out of what was perceived to be their fiscal imprudence. The administration of such condition based grants and debt relief schemes was entrusted with Central Government Ministries.

  • VIDHI CENTRE for LEGAL POLICY Fiscal Federalism in India: Some
    Draft for Delivery VIDHI CENTRE FOR LEGAL POLICY New Delhi 23 Sept. 2015 Fiscal Federalism in India: Some Reflections Y.V. Reddy1 Friends, I had a brief exposure to the expertise available with Vidhi Centre for Legal Policy in connection with the work relating to the 14th Finance Commission. I was impressed with their professionalism and commitment. I, therefore, felt that my admiration for their valuable work should be demonstrated by my participating in this event, to release the Briefing Book on Cooperative Federalism. This book is valuable because it addresses specific issues of contemporary relevance, and suggests approaches around which discussions may take place, and way forward contemplated. This book, therefore, should be of interest to a broad range of policy-makers, academics and jurists. The book gives a succinct account of the concept of cooperative fiscal federalism currently under intense debate. Theory of fiscal federalism and its practice in India is one but important element of cooperative federalism and it is well documented in great detail by many eminent scholars. In particular, my friend, Professor M. Govinda Rao is an acknowledged authority on the subject. I cannot add anything more today to what has been written by him on the subject. One of the reasons for considerable contemporary debate on the subject of this book is the report of the 14th Finance Commission, and perhaps, I am expected to dwell on it. Having been a co-author of the report, it may not be appropriate for me to explain, elaborate or defend, what has been stated. So, I consulted the organizers on what I should do.

  • Speech of Dr. Manmohan Singh, Minister of Finance, Introducing the Budget for the Year 1995-96*
    SPEECH OF DR.

Four years have passed since our Government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri P.V. Narasimha Rao, took office in the midst of an Budget, 1995-96 Total Receipts — Rs. 1,67,151 crore Total Expenditure — Rs. 1,72,151 crore Deficit — Rs. 5,000 crore * Lok Sabha Debate, 15.3.1995, cc. 204-228. 1401 1402 FINANCE MINISTERS’ BUDGET SPEECHES unprecedented economic crisis. Our immediate task was to save the nation from a relentless slide into the abyss of falling production, soaring inflation and deepening poverty. We dealt swiftly with the immediate crisis and we also worked towards a broader objective of shifting the economy on to a path of rapid, employment-generating growth. Our aim was to raise India to her rightful place in the comity of nations. Sometimes, in the heat of political debate, we lose sight of what has already been achieved. Let me take a few minutes to outline how far we have come since those grim days of 1991: • The growth of our economy had fallen to less than one per cent in 1991-92.

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.
