India’s fiscal allocations imbalance
Description
Join Sarthak Pradhan and Arindam Goswami in this episode of All Things Policy, where we'll dive deep into a very important problem in public finance: that of the devolution of taxes/revenue to the states. This problem has various facets to it. Quite often, it plays out as a horizontal devolution or North vs South problem in public discourse. Due to that, the vertical devolution aspect is ignored. We look at various perspectives of this issue and try to understand the core problems, and what could be the solutions.
Sarthak has recently co-authored an op-ed about this, which you can read here: https://theprint.in/opinion/indias-fiscal-imbalance-isnt-a-north-vs-south-problem-heres-what-lies-at-the-centre-of-it/2249684/
