In:
Economic and Political WeeklySummary: Rationalisation of the transfer system and restoration of fiscal balance in the states will not be possible without a radical review of the practice of planning, plan financing and central assistance for state plans. While determining revenue needs of the states normatively, it is necessary to take a holistic view and do away with the plan and non-plan distinction in revenue expenditures, which is a source of other distortions in expenditure priorities. Until that happens, rationalisation of the transfer system will not be possible. - Reproduced.
