Inadequacy of the revenue raising powers assigned to the states relative to their expenditure has been compensated by statutory provision for the transfer of fund, but mere gap filling transfers foster dependency and ultimately block the incentive to reform. - Reproduced.  aFederal state relations  aIndian Journal of Federal Studies
