The New Indian Express Thiruvananthapuram
|December 11, 2024
THE state government has urged the 16th Finance Commission to give due weightage for population control and principles of equality and justice while fixing the horizontal devolution, the distribution of central tax share among states.
The government's memorandum to the FC said the share of states from the divisible pool should be increased to 50% and a cent percent increase in the Union government's contribution to the State Disaster Response Fund.
The visiting 16th Finance Commission team led by its chairman Arvind Panagariya on Tuesday held consultations with Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and his cabinet colleagues and representatives from different sectors. The commission has an open mind and the demands of the state would be studied, Panagariya told mediapersons later.
