## ANSWER

## 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.
