GST Compensation acquires hues of 'Fiscal Apartheid'!


Constitutional Obligation

Good morning, Shailendra.

Do you mean to say that the promise by the Centre to pay Compensation to the States does not form a Constitutional Obligation, merely because it's not in the Article of the Constitution, but only in Section 18 of the 101st Constitutional Amendment Act ?

If so, I beg to disagree, which I rarely do with you.

An obligation through a provision in the Constitution Amendment Act continues to be a Constitutional Obligation - in my opinion.

Warmly,
Sumit Dutt Majumder
