Consider the following statements:
1. The aggregate resources raised for financial year 2019 by the Union government was
lesser than the States.
2. The States' share in the divisible pool of taxes was greater than the value mandated
by the Finance Commission (FC).
3. The aggregate expenditure incurred for financial year 2019 by the States were

Which of the above statement(s) is/are correct?
Correct
Ans c
Divisible Pool
Divisible pool is that portion of gross tax revenue which is distributed between the
Centre and the States.
The divisible pool consists of all taxes, except surcharges and cess levied for specific
purpose, net of collection charges.
According to the 15th Finance Commission’s report, in FY19, the Union government
raised 62.7% of the total resources raised by the Union government and States,
while States had borne 62.4% of the aggregate expenditure.
Although the 14th and 15th FC raised the share of States in gross taxes to over 40%,
the actual share never reached this mandated level.
After reaching a peak of 36.6% in FY19, States’ share fell and has since stagnated at
around 29%.
At the same time, the gap between the share recommended by the FC and the
actual devolution has widened to more than 11 percentage points, the highest in at
least two decades.
Even though FC raised the States’ share in Central taxes, it didn’t translate into an
increase in the actual share devolved as the divisible pool shrank.
