Centre's decision on revenue deficit grant fails to cheer State -NJ Nair

-The Hindu

Concerned over time and quantum of funds to be devolved over the years

Even after the Centre accepting the Union Finance Commission’s revenue deficit grant award of Rs. 74,000 crore, the State government is concerned over the time and quantum of funds to be devolved over the years.

The concern is largely based on the Centre’s practice of slashing the grant progressively in the previous years. Citing financial constraints, if the Centre defers the allocation, it would rattle the State’s finances.

The 15th Union Finance Commission, in its interim report, had awarded ?74,000 crore for the grant to States, but Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitaraman in her budget speech had said that the Centre would provide a substantial share in this score and it was whittled down to Rs.30,000 crore.
