Q. Examine the role of the Finance Commission in strengthening fiscal federalism in India. (150 words, 10 marks)
Introduction
Define the body in one or two lines: the Finance Commission is a constitutional body under Article 280 that recommends how the net proceeds of central taxes are shared between the Union and the States.
Body
- Vertical devolution: it fixes the States' share of the divisible pool. The 15th Finance Commission recommended 41%.
- Horizontal distribution: it divides that share among States using criteria such as income distance, population, area, and forest and ecology.
- Grants: it recommends revenue deficit grants, and grants for local bodies and disaster management.
- Concerns: cesses and surcharges stay outside the divisible pool, and some States object to the weight given to population.
Conclusion
End with a way forward, such as limiting the use of cesses and rewarding States for fiscal and demographic performance, so that devolution stays both fair and predictable.
Why daily Mains answer writing matters for UPSC
UPSC Mains is a written exam. You have about seven minutes for a 10-mark answer, and marks depend on how clearly you put your knowledge on paper within that time.
Reading alone does not build that skill. Writing one answer every day trains you to plan quickly, stay inside the word limit and finish the paper.
Evaluation is what makes the practice count. Without feedback you repeat the same mistakes, and with it each answer improves on the last.
