Some more changes have been witnessed after the 14 th Finance Commission's recommendations in the area of Transfer of Resources to States.

CSSs have been further  restructured  to  28  umbrella  schemes  with  effect  from  financial  year  2016-17  and  funding pattern of these schemes has also been revised on the basis of recommendations of the Sub-Group of Chief Ministers on rationalization of CSSs.
