New India formula? 15th Finance Commission’s job will be especially tricky in the time of GST Constitutional body is tasked- recommending a •fiscal road map and a sharing of resources

between the Centre and the States. Former Revenue Secretary N.K. Singh, who has been appointed chairman of the Commission

, held preliminary discussions on its ―wideranging‖ terms of reference and decided to holdexpeditious consultations with stakeholders at all administrative levels as well as withpolitical parties.

Commission has less than two years - Submit its report by October 2019 Period from April 2020 to March 2025. 14th FC recommendation to raise the States‘ share in the divisible pool of taxes to 42% from

the previous 32% level, PM decided to strengthen the States‘ capacity To move away from a ‘onesize•fitsall‘ approach Centre has urged the Commission to •finalise its taxdevolution formula after factoring in

the impact on the Union‘s •fiscal situation, keeping in mind ―the continuing imperativeof the national development programme including New India – 2022‖.


Continue The rollout of the goods and services tax, which marks a new chapter in tax administration

with both the Centre and States working together through the GST Council, makes the challenge trickier.

Centre is committed to compensating States for any revenue losses arising out of GST implementation till June 2022,

Thus covering nearly half the period for which the Commission is to recommend a formula. Challenge would lie especially when one has to reward a State for showing ‗control or lack of

it in incurring expenditure on populist measures‘.

Of crime and punishment

Police reform in India has been concerned with political interference ever since the landmark Supreme Court judgement, in 2006, on the subject.

National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), ―Crime in India 2016‖, Presents a dismal picture of the key performance statistic with only 47% convictions in

Indian Penal Code (IPC) crimes at the national level. Delhi provides an interesting case study, where there is no political interference and the Police

Commissioner reports to the Lieutenant Governor, and not the Chief Minister. With a population smaller than Mumbai, it has two times the number of police stations. Yet, in Delhi, while 1,90,876 persons were sent to trial last year, there were only 9,837 IPC

convictions in the year. In Delhi only 58% of those arrested were chargesheeted, while in Mumbai, more persons

were chargesheeted than were arrested for IPC crimes


Continue Delhi, 13,803 crimes against women were reported and no chargesheets •led in 4,371 cases (32

%); in Mumbai with 5,128 crimes reported against women, •final reports were •led in only 15% The key statistic of police performance is not merely correct reporting and recording but

chargesheets and convictions, as this impacts on criminal behaviour. DNA testing Delhi, DNA testing, which can secure higher conviction rates, is, inexplicably, a low priority. Only one forensic testing laboratory, with around 9,000 sample spending for examination Delhi has a conviction rate of only 21%, 24% and 30%

in cases of kidnapping and abduction, rape and murder, respectively Distinguish between accountability and operational responsibility. Unresolved issues 1)-Despite the recommendations of a)-Law Commissions and b)-The Supreme Court, c)-As well going by experience in the developed world, We do not have separate wings for investigation of crime and for law and ord


Continue 2)-The criminal justice system should be limited to crimes under the IPC, while enforcement of administrative law and social legislation requires a different approach

involving summary trials, changing societal attitudes and modes of behaviour. For example, Britain parttime lay judges outnumber fulltime judges, leaving the judiciary

to concentrate on the real crime. 3)-Effectiveness of prisons is now being questioned. Nearly 2/3 of the prison population is awaiting trial and half the number of undertrials

are normally acquitted(बरी कर दिया). Main purpose of criminal administration should be the prevention of crime, and the police

cannot be an instrument of social change. Administrative measures and •fines levied by honorary and executive magistrates

will change behaviour better than penal action.


‘GST opens up a lot of data for policymaking’

T.C.A. Anant is the Chief Statistician of India, and Secretary, Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation

GST is going to give us a database aboutthe economy which is qualitatively verydifferent from anything we had in the past

Demonetisation story Digital transactions has changed. That has sustained And

that is a good 810% increase What more can be done to capture data of

the informal sector?
