The 14th Finance Commission has not made any distinction between general category States and special category States in the horizontal distribution of shareable taxes among the states, Parliament was informed on Wednesday.
Replying to a question in the Lok Sabha, Minister of State for Planning Rao Inderjit Singh said after the acceptance of the 14th Finance Commission recommendations, the state’s share in divisible pool of central taxes has increased from 32 per cent, as it used to be earlier, to 42 per cent for the period 2015-20.
