According to the 15th Finance Commission’s report, in FY19, the Union government raised 62.7% of the total resources raised by the Union government and States, while States had borne 62.4% of the aggregate expenditure. Chart 1 shows the Union government’s and States’ share in total resources raised and total expenditure borne in FY19.
