Answer given by the minister

Minister of State for Finance

(SHRI JAYANT SINHA)

(a) & (b) : Following the recommendations of the Fourteenth Finance Commission, devolution of the Central Taxes and Duties has increased by 10% amounting to an increase of Rs.1,86,150 /- crore in the 2015-16 BE as compared to the 2014-15 RE. After increase in devolution in the share of divisible pool of taxes to States from 32% to 42% based on the recommendations of the 14th Finance Commission, the States have been given significantly more untied resources. Due to paucity of resources at the Central level, we had initially proposed change in the funding pattern of Centrally Sponsored Schemes to 50:50. However, on the recommendations of the Sub Group of Chief Ministers on Rationalization of Centrally Sponsored Schemes constituted by NITI Aayog, it has been decided that for the 8 North Eastern States and 3 Himalayan States the funding pattern will be in the ratio 90:10 for Core Centrally Sponsored Schemes (which form part of the National Development Agenda) and 80:20 for the optional schemes.
(c) The details of actual funds transferred to above States during the current financial year vis-à-vis the same period during the financial year 2014-15 under the Central Assistance to State Plans, Centre’s Share in respect of CSSs and Non-Plan Account e.g. the Finance Commission Awards indicating specific amounts transferred for disaster relief-cum-response, to cover Non-Plan Revenue Deficit, outcome-oriented grants, State-specific grants is at Annexure-I and Annexure-II.
