'Get 15 Paise For Every Rupee Contributed': Karnataka Asks Finance Commission For 'Fair Tax Devolution'

Last Updated: The state has also sought support of Rs 1.15 lakh crore investment to bolster Bengaluru's infrastructure and address regional disparities in Kalyana Karnataka and Malnad Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah on Friday demanded a more equitable and growth-oriented fiscal federal structure before the 16th Finance Commission, led by chairman Arvind Panagariya. Siddaramaiah highlighted the stark imbalance in fiscal returns despite Karnataka's significant contribution to the national economy. In an additional memorandum submitted to the commission, Karnataka articulated its vision for reforms aimed at creating a predictable and fair devolution system. 'Karnataka's fiscal strength fuels national growth. It is time to ensure that growth is not penalised but rewarded. We urge the commission to adopt a balanced, forward-looking approach to devolution," the chief minister stated to the media after the meeting. Siddaramaiah underscored the state's share, with Karnataka contributing nearly 8.7% of India's GDP with just 5% of the population and ranking second in GST collections. Despite this, Karnataka receives a mere 15 paise for every rupee contributed to union taxes, a figure drastically impacted by the reduction in its share from 4.713% to 3.647% under the 15th Finance Commission, leading to a cumulative loss of over Rs 80,000 crore. What Karnataka wants Karnataka has sought increased vertical devolution. It has asked to increase the states' share of taxes to at least 50% and cap cesses and surcharges at 5%, along with including union non-tax revenues in the divisible pool. It is also urging a more balanced horizontal devolution. The CM proposed that states retain 60% of their contributions, with 40% directed to less-developed states to balance growth and equity. He suggested a reduction in the weight of the income-distance criterion and greater emphasis on a state's economic contribution to avoid penalising high-performing states. Siddaramaiah advocated for critical reforms to Revenue Deficit Grants and State-Specific Grants, noting that Karnataka's per capita devolution significantly dropped between the 14th and 15th Finance Commissions. Focus Bengaluru The state has sought support of Rs 1.15 lakh crore investment to bolster Bengaluru's infrastructure and address regional disparities in Kalyana Karnataka and Malnad. Siddaramaiah has earlier launched campaigns like 'Our Tax, Our Right" to seek the state's rightful share in the devolution process. First Published: June 14, 2025, 02:39 IST

No major economic impact of Iran-Israel conflict, but vigil up: India official

AP A man walks at the scene of an explosion in a residence compound in northern Tehran, Iran. The ongoing Israel-Iran conflict is unlikely to have any major economic impact on India unless it escalates into a broader and protracted regional conflagration but the government is keeping a close watch on the evolving situation, a senior official said. The conflict, however, could potentially stoke volatility in global crude oil prices, capital flows, currency movement and shipping costs in the short term, the official conceded. While it's "too early" to gauge the precise impact on India, the finance ministry and regulators would continue to maintain heightened vigil in view of the volatility across markets, the official told given its strong macroeconomic fundamentals, India is on a strong footing to tide over any such global crisis without much bruise, he said. He also ruled out any sharp and durable impact of the crisis on non-energy commodity prices globally over the medium term. Indian stocks fell on Friday tracking a global sell-off and the rupee depreciated against the dollar as worries about the Israel-Iran conflict weighed down investor benchmark Sensex and Nifty nosedived 0.7% each on Friday. The rupee depreciated 0.6% to close at a two-month low of 86.09 against the greenback, as the dollar index strengthened with investors scrambling for safe haven crude oil prices spiked 12% to $78.5 per barrel in the early hours of Friday morning following the Israeli strike. The prices, however, pulled back to less than $75 a barrel after reports emerged that Israel had not targeted Iran's oil infrastructure but limited its strike to Tehran's nuclear facilities. The Israeli strikes have raised fears if Iran could retaliate by trying to close the Strait of Hormuz, a vital choke point for about a fifth of the global oil supply. In that case, shipping and related insurance costs could rise US gold futures inched up more than 1% to touch its peak in nearly two months amid heightened demand for haven assets.

Rising oil prices unlikely to impact inflation: Experts

Reuters Oil prices (Image for representation) The spike in crude oil prices amid escalating tensions between Israel and Iran is unlikely to impact retail inflation, which hit a 75-month low in May, experts noted, citing stable fuel prices in India. Brent crude price surged above $78 per barrel before settling around $74 per barrel on Friday, amid fears of supply disruptions following Israel's strike against Iran. "When the crude oil price declined to $60 per barrel, the government did not pass the benefit to the consumers, hence there won't be any impact on inflation," said Madan Sabnavis, chief economist at Bank of Baroda. During the recent period of low crude prices, the government had not cut retail gains from higher pump prices were shared among the government, state authorities and oil marketing companies (OMCs), meaning that current price increases will primarily affect these entities rather than consumers, said Sabnavis. "The risk to inflation remains low, as fuel prices have not changed for some time now," noted Gaura Sengupta, chief economist at IDFC First Bank. However, Paras Jasrai, associate director at India Ratings and Research, warned, "If the conflict between the two countries escalates further, then this could spring up crude oil price beyond $80/bbl, which can put a stop to the disinflationary trend that India has been witnessing".
