| Summary: | The Union Finance Commission (UFC) and
State Finance Commissions (SFCs) are
the constitutional authorities entitled to
transfer resources to the third tier.
Despite the progress, not only that the
share of the state remained low in the
UFC dispensations but the share of the
state even declined from 4.54 percent of
Twelfth UFC (UFC- XII) to 3.11 percent
in the awards of Thirteenth UFC (UFC-
XIII). Kerala suffered heavily on the inter-
se distribution criteria. The paper
examines the inter se distribution criteria
of the UFCs of India towards LGs, to
delineate the criteria that worked against
the interests of Kerala. |
