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.

Download or read book Government Finance in Indian States written by Suddhasil Siddhanta and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
Download or read book Costs of Democracy written by Devesh Kapur and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-13 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most troubling critiques of contemporary democracy is the inability of representative governments to regulate the deluge of money in politics. If it is impossible to conceive of democracies without elections, it is equally impractical to imagine elections without money. Costs of Democracy is an exhaustive, ground-breaking study of money in Indian politics that opens readers’ eyes to the opaque and enigmatic ways in which money flows through the political veins of the world’s largest democracy. Through original, in-depth investigation—drawing from extensive fieldwork on political campaigns, pioneering surveys, and innovative data analysis—the contributors in this volume uncover the institutional and regulatory contexts governing the torrent of money in politics; the sources of political finance; the reasons for such large spending; and how money flows, influences, and interacts with different tiers of government. The book raises uncomfortable questions about whether the flood of money risks washing away electoral democracy itself.

Download or read book State Government Expenditure in India written by Dasari Sarala Lenin and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2017-06-20 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Palgrave Pivot analyzes the effectiveness of public policy by State governments in India on social services, in terms of the public expenditure incurred on social services such as health and education. The book addresses two key questions: to what extent does the population size act as the main determining factor in guiding the expenditure allocation to provision of social services; and, secondly, to what extent is government spend transformed to the end results of better human development indicators. In India, the Constitution provides for the supply of basic social services by the governments at the central, state and local levels. Accordingly, substantial allocations are made in the budgets for education, health and other social services. Approximately 20% of the total expenditure of the Central level is allocated for the social sector services. At the State level the supply of basic social services is a key component of the budgets and as much as 30% of the government expenditure is earmarked, although the proportion varies across the states. However, to what extent the expenditure results in social development are not known. Wrong prioritization and lack of accountability can reduce the effectiveness of these budget allocations. The author identifies existing constraints to effective spending and suggests remedial measures; seeks to understand, from a financing perspective, how the Millennium Development Goals have been achieved in India, and provides policy makers with a framework to analyze public expenditure and how it relates to education and health outcomes.

Download or read book Guidelines for Public Expenditure Management written by Mr.Jack Diamond and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1999-07-01 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, economics training in public finances has focused more on tax than public expenditure issues, and within expenditure, more on policy considerations than the more mundane matters of public expenditure management. For many years, the IMF's Public Expenditure Management Division has answered specific questions raised by fiscal economists on such missions. Based on this experience, these guidelines arose from the need to provide a general overview of the principles and practices observed in three key aspects of public expenditure management: budget preparation, budget execution, and cash planning. For each aspect of public expenditure management, the guidelines identify separately the differing practices in four groups of countries - the francophone systems, the Commonwealth systems, Latin America, and those in the transition economies. Edited by Barry H. Potter and Jack Diamond, this publication is intended for a general fiscal, or a general budget, advisor interested in the macroeconomic dimension of public expenditure management.
