\"\"The Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday approved the Fifteenth Finance Commission to submit first report for the first fiscal year viz. 2020-21 and to extend the tenure of XV-FC to provide for the presentation of the final report covering FYs 2021-22 to 2025-26 by October 30, 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n

The extension of the term will enable the Commission to examine various comparable estimates for financial projections in view of reforms and the new realities to finalise its recommendations for the period 2020-2026.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Commission, on account of the restrictions imposed by the Model Code of Conduct, completed its visit to States only recently.\u00a0 This has had a bearing on the detailed assessments of States requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Terms of Reference for the commission are wide-ranging in nature. Comprehensively examining their implications and aligning them to the requirements of the States and the Central Government will require additional time.<\/span><\/p>\n

The proposed increase in coverage of the period for which the Commission\u2019s recommendations are applicable, will help medium-term resource planning for the State Governments and the Central Government.\u00a0 Making a five year coverage available for the Commission beyond April 1, 2021, will help both State and Central Governments design schemes with medium to long term financial perspective and provide adequate time for mid-course evaluation and correction.\u00a0 It is anticipated that the impact of the economic reforms initiated in the current FY would be manifested in the data by the end of First Quarter 2020-21.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
