A constitutional body established under Article 280 every five years to recommend distribution of tax revenues between the Union and states. It examines states’ fiscal needs, assesses finances, and suggests grants-in-aid. Its recommendations, though advisory, hold significant weight in ensuring federal equity. By factoring in population, income distance, forest cover, etc., the Commission guides balanced development. It influences resource allocation for local bodies (panchayats/municipalities) as well, reinforcing decentralization. Over time, commissions have introduced performance-based incentives, motivating states to enhance governance. The President appoints the Chairperson and members with expertise in public affairs, shaping the Commission’s pivotal role in cooperative federalism.
