STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
The present practice of appointing a Finance Commission every fifth year fails to take account of the dialectics of the present day socio- econo- mic situation of the country. The fast technological development of to- day indicates the feasibility of bringing the backward States of the coun- try on par with other developed States if there is proper and prompt dis- tribution of the net proceeds of the taxes between the Union and the States . Besides , some dynamic principles need to be formulated for gov- erning the grants -in- aid of the revenues of the States out of the Conso- lidated Fund of India for ending the disparity in the development of the "have" and "have - not " States of the country .
All this would be facilitated if there is a permanent Finance Commis- sion to evaluate the growing needs of the economic development of the country.
Hence the Bill .
