| 520 | |a This paper examines the award of the Twelfth Finance Commission with the specific objective of finding out the extent to which their recommendations, valid for the current year and the next four years, are going to affect the fiscal health of Kerala. The paper is written in the backdrop of the discussions on different agendas for Kerala's development floating around in the State today. Most of these agendas either overlook totally or just gloss over the contributory role of the Central government in general and the Finance Commissions in particular in heightening the fiscal crisis and consequently the development crisis of the State. The paper begins with an examination of the Commission's scheme of sharing of Central government revenue between the Centre and the States. It then goes on to examine the inter-state distribution of Central revenue transfers to find out how Kerala has fared in comparison with all States. The paper discusses the impact of the Twelfth Finance Commission's award on Kerala in comparison with those of the Eleventh and the Tenth Finance Commissions. The study finds that Kerala has been losing more and more in the hands of successive Finance Commissions. The paper looks at the criteria of transfers which affect Kerala adversely. The implications of the Finance Commission's award for the State's Plan are also discussed. The paper notes that conflict in priorities between the State and the Central government, is emerging due to the difference in stages of social development between Kerala and other States. While the Centre's priority is to address the first generation Problems of other States in literacy, primary education, primary healthcare, poverty, deprivation etc., Kerala's priority is to address the second-generation problem unique to the State. The paper argues that it is this conflicting priorities which is at the root of the steady decline in the role of Central transfers in general and those coming through the Finance Commissions in particular, deepening the State's fiscal crisis | ||
