    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.

    Daily GA Updates COVID-19 vaccine could be 90% effective: Pfizer A vaccine jointly developed by Pfizer and BioNTech was 90% effective in preventing Covid-19 infections in ongoing Phase 3 trials, the companies announced. According to preliminary findings, protection in patients was achieved seven days after the second of two doses, and 28 days after the first. The companies said they expect to supply up to 50 million vaccine doses globally in 2020, and up to 1.3 billion doses in 2021. While the Pfizer-BioNTech trial has yet to be peer-reviewed by experts, scientists reacted positively -- if cautiously to the results. India welcomes removal of Sudan from list of State Sponsors of Terrorism India has welcomed the removal of Sudan from the List of State Sponsors of Terrorism and Sudan’s normalisation of relations with Israel.

    Political Economy of India's Fiscal and Financial Reform*

    Working Paper No. 105 Political Economy of India’s Fiscal and Financial Reform by John Echeverri-Gent* August 2001 Stanford University John A. and Cynthia Fry Gunn Building 366 Galvez Street | Stanford, CA | 94305-6015 * Associate Professor, Department of Government and Foreign Affairs, University of Virginia 1 Although economic liberalization may involve curtailing state economic intervention, it does not diminish the state’s importance in economic development. In addition to its crucial role in maintaining macroeconomic stability, the state continues to play a vital, if more subtle, role in creating incentives that shape economic activity. States create these incentives in a variety of ways including their authorization of property rights and market microstructures, their creation of regulatory agencies, and the manner in which they structure fiscal federalism. While the incentives established by the state have pervasive economic consequences, they are created and re-created through political processes, and politics is a key factor in explaining the extent to which state institutions promote efficient and equitable behavior in markets. India has experienced two important changes that fundamentally have shaped the course of its economic reform. India’s party system has been transformed from a single party dominant system into a distinctive form of coalitional politics where single-state parties play a pivotal role in making and breaking governments. At the same time economic liberalization has progressively curtailed central government dirigisme and increased the autonomy of market institutions, private sector actors, and state governments. In this essay I will analyze how these changes have shaped the politics of fiscal and financial sector reform.

  • VIDHI CENTRE for LEGAL POLICY Fiscal Federalism in India: Some

    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.

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.
