In Working Out A Development Plan Or A Stabilization Programme, A Major Question That Always Arises Is How Much Tax And Non-Tax Revenues A Country, Or A State In A Federal Country Like India, Can Reasonably Expect To Raise And What Sources Should Be Tap¬Ped? Different States In India Are At Different Levels Of Development. Conse¬Quently, Problems Relating To Resource Mobilisation Differ From State To State. It Is Generally Felt That, To A Large Extent, The Financial Problems Of The States Arise From Their Lack Of Tax Effort, I.E., Their Failure To Mobilise Resources From Within Their Own Juris¬Diction. One May Not Agree As To What Constitutes A High Or Low Tax Effort In Particular Instances, Yet The Inter-State Comparisons Might Throw Some Light On The Scope Of Additional Resources Mobilisation In Different States.In The Present Venture An Attempt Has Been Made To Examine The Scope Of Additional Resources Mobilisation In The States Both From Tax And Non-¬Tax Sources. In Particular State Lotte¬Ries As A Source Of Non-Tax Source And Their Economic Implications Have Been Examined. State Lotteries, As A Source Of Revenue Have Been Found To Be Inequitable. Most Of The States Have Been Observed To Be Making Half-Hearted Tax Efforts In So Far As The Mobilisation Of Additional Resources Is Concerned.
Accountability of government to citizens is the foundation for good governance. Unfortunately, many developing countries suffer the results of dysfunctional governance systems that fail to provide even minimal levels of vital public services. The key message of the New Institutional Economics is that incentives matter. In the public sphere, the countries' accountability frameworks rewards, sanctions, and measurement of performance shape public sector performance. This book applies this fundamental insight to fiscal/budgetary analysis and public service delivery, giving the reader tools and around the globe examples of institutional arrangements that help citizens hold government accountable for their performance.

This book discusses various dimensions of Indian fiscal federalism, focusing on the current fiscal imbalances – both vertical and horizontal – and their correction. Throwing light on different angles of this subject, it presents well-researched papers, which are divided into three sections. The first section, ‘Fiscal federalism and resolving the fiscal imbalances’, includes five chapters that discuss this theme and also explain the various strategies to remove the existing imbalances in India. ‘Fiscal decentralization for high growth’ which is the second section, explains how decentralisation leads to high economic growth and showcases empirical evidence from a few Indian states that are flourishing due to this policy. The third section, ‘Emerging issues’ offers six chapters describing several existing key concerns in fiscal federalism that have a major impact on achieving India’s development goals. Including contributions from leading academics in this field, the book will be of great interest to research scholars and policy makers alike. “Besides addressing the core issue of fiscal imbalances and ways to correct them, the [chapters] touch on several issues confronting the Indian fiscal system at the centre , state and local levels. The [chapters] are well researched and well argued. The book is a valuable addition to the literature on Fiscal Federalism.” – Dr. C. Rangarajan, Ex-Governor of Reserve Bank of India; Chairman, Madras School of Economics, Chennai, India.
