520			_aArticle 280(3)(c) is an important constitutional provision that requires the finance commissions to recommend measures for augmenting the Consolidated Fund of the state to supplement the resources of the municipalities. Finance commissions have made use of this provision to recommend grants-in-aid for municipalities to take on functions that far exceed their statutorily defined responsibilities, undertake systemic reforms, and establish protocols for ensuring compliance with the recommendations.
