Increased SDRF and Local Bodies Fund Requested
The state urged the Commission to enhance the State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF) allocation and to revise the Centre-State funding ratio from 75:25 to 90:10. It further recommended increasing the grant for local self-governments from 4.23% to 5% of the divisible pool and distributing it in proportion to rural and urban populations. Additionally, separate grants were sought for public bus transport and fire services for cities and municipal corporations.
During the session, the Finance Commission also interacted with representatives from industry bodies, local self-government institutions, and political parties.
