Book excerpt: Perceptive scholars have repeatedly drawn policy makers' attention to the recent marked deterioration in some major deficit indicators of the state government finance of India. During recent years, the increasing trend of fiscal deficits and its relation with revenue deficit have been viewed as alarming. Such pattern is not particular of any State in India. However, the pattern of revenue expenditure and its reflection in real economy has not yet been studied. The present paper, therefore, tries to bridge this gap and seeks to suggest some policy measures both in short term and long term. An institutional social security mechanism is suggested for the gradual betterment of the society keeping in mind the inevitable demographic ageing which the country is bound to experience in near future.

Book Synopsis State Level Reforms, Growth, and Development in Indian States by : Arvind Panagariya
Download or read book State Level Reforms, Growth, and Development in Indian States written by Arvind Panagariya and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most discussions of India's recent economic growth focus on progress and policies at the national level. But with a population of 1.2 billion, several of the states in India are larger than many of the countries in the world. Therefore, a more complete understanding of India's ongoing experiment in economic reforms requires a study at the state level. State Level Reforms, Growth, and Development in Indian States provides the first-ever comprehensive analysis of growth and reforms in the highly diverse states of the country. The authors argue that when the national government loosened its controls on industry and services, state governments began shaping the fortunes of their citizens through state-level policy reforms, resulting in faster growth in every state over the last decade than any other decade in the post-independence era. In fact, some of the poorest states, notably Bihar and Odisha, have been growing the fastest. Professors Panagariya and Chakraborty and Dr. Rao refute the common assumptions that growth has not occurred or that poverty has not been reduced in all Indian states. The recent reforms have also led to improved access in every state to basic amenities such as permanent houses, electricity, water, and sanitation. These accomplishments notwithstanding, regional inequality on a per capita basis has grown as well. The authors analyze the economic transformation that has taken place in the largest eighteen states of India and suggest reforms in areas of agriculture, industry, services and urbanization that can further accelerate this transformation. They also provide a comprehensive analysis of education and health in the states.

Book Synopsis India's Intergovernmental Transfer System and the Fiscal Condition of the States by : Eunice Heredia-Ortiz
Download or read book India's Intergovernmental Transfer System and the Fiscal Condition of the States written by Eunice Heredia-Ortiz and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India's fiscal deficit and steep deterioration in state finances is a source of concern. The literature abounds with references to the combined fiscal deficit of the center and the states currently at over 10 per cent of GDP. During no other eight year period has the debt-GDP ratio rose by more than 10 percentage points where the ratio of outstanding debt to GDP increased from 21 per cent in 1996-97 to 35 per cent in 2004-05 (Budget Estimate). In this paper, we contend that the lack of State fiscal discipline is due in large part to a flawed intergovernmental fiscal system that fosters fiscal profligacy at the state level. Specifically, the States are highly dependent on transfers from the Union Government, which breaks the Wicksellian link between costs and benefits. There is a lack of transparency and accountability in the system because of extensive use of inadequate revenue assignments, lack of sufficient decentralization to local bodies, and a poorly designed intergovernmental transfer system. Finally, the States are operating under soft budget constraints which encourage fiscal profligacy. In this paper, we concentrate our discussion on issues related to the intergovernmental fiscal transfer system. We contend that the high transfer dependency of the states has weakened accountability and fiscal discipline. The transfer system is also very complex and lacks transparency and coordination among the institutions in charge of implementing transfers, which together produce a cycle of distorting incentives. If the fiscal behavior of the States reflects the incentives created by the intergovernmental system, as we contend, then, absent structural reform of the intergovernmental fiscal system that addresses the perverse incentives of the current system, the fiscal trends described above are likely to persist. Although the Twelfth Finance Commission (TFC) has addressed some of the issues related to the intergovernmental fiscal system and soft budget constraint, there is still an urgent need to tackle other issues in the intergovernmental fiscal system that create perverse incentives and soften budget constraints. This emphasizes the need for the State and Union Governments of India to strengthen and accelerate the reform of India's intergovernmental system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the impact of India's federal architecture, particularly its tax sharing structure and system of fiscal transfers. It shows the existing system of intergovernmental transfers and pays particular attention to the Indian system of devolution frame work.Federalism is essential about the division of a nation between and among the tiers, rather than within a particular level of government in the performance of government functions. Ideally, federal institutions strive to ensure that there is a balance in the political powers, administrative responsibilities and financial resources assigned to each level of government. A federal government is a constitutional arrangement which divides law-making powers and functions of the state between two or more levels of government which are united in a defined territory.
Book Synopsis Federal Finance in India by : Ghazala Aziz
Download or read book Federal Finance in India written by Ghazala Aziz and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although India's federal polity provides for divided governmental functions and powers, imbalances have arisen between the functional responsibilities and financial resources of the central and state governments. This is because revenue-raising capacities of the states are lower than their revenue needs. The mismatch between functions and financial powers has occurred partly because of increasing responsibilities of the states and partly due to the dominant position of the central government in regard to taxation and debt-raising powers. Therefore, vertical imbalances of resources and expenditure responsibilities have emerged between the central and state governments, calling for a transfer of resources from the center to the states. Financial imbalances at the vertical level (center vs. states) and at the horizontal level (among the states) need to be removed/reduced through constitutional and institutional arrangements. This book provides an in-depth analysis of the magnitude and manner of fiscal transfers from the center to the states in India, including a case study of Uttar Pradesh, India's most populous state.
Book Synopsis Indian Subnational Finances by : A. Prasad
Download or read book Indian Subnational Finances written by A. Prasad and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2007-08 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fiscal performance of the States in India has been an area of concern for quite some time. The Twelfth Finance Commission (TFC) recommended a three-pronged strategy to alleviate States' fiscal distress, built around greater orientation toward market discipline, incentives for fiscal consolidation targets, and commitment to fiscal correction. We find that States have created fiscal space through raising revenues and reducing and reprioritizing expenditures. Looking ahead, expansion of fiscal space is essential to meet the States' large infrastructure and social needs in order to alleviate bottlenecks to growth. This needs to be accomplished without undermining fiscal sustainability.
