UP performing on many parameters, demand for higher share in central taxes justified: Khanna
1 2 Lucknow: Days after the chairman of 16th Finance Commission Arvind Panagariya said that Uttar Pradesh, like many other states, had demanded increase in state's share from existing 41% to 50%, state finance minister Suresh Khanna said that such a demand has been raised by other states too and it is justified as UP has being doing better on several parameters. The UP govt's thrust before the 16th Finance Commission was on UP's share in central taxes which should be 20.47% against 17.93% it got in 15th Finance Commission, the finance minister told TOI. Sources said that even if UP does not get the demanded share of 20.47%, it should get at least 19.76% of central taxes, which UP got during the 13th Finance Commission between 2010 and 2015. The meeting, which was also attended by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, primarily focused on how much money is required by the state and why. Talking to TOI on the issue, Khanna said: "The demand is justified as UP has done better on several parameters. UP has fared well in tax effort, which is one of the criteria of the Finance Commission for allocating money. UP has collected over Rs 2.12 lakh crore in state's own tax collection. UP's own tax collection comprises state GST and VAT which stood over Rs 1.14 lakh crore." On the state's demand to increase UP's share to 20.47% of the central taxes, Khanna said that during the 14th Finance Commission, the tax share stood at 17.95% for UP which came down to 17.93% in 15th Finance Commission. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Khanna said that UP has done better not only in its own tax revenue but also performed better in financial management and discipline with FRBM limit remaining within the permissible limit of 3%. Khanna said since UP did not have its own natural resources, its demands were just and acceptable. He said even under forest index, which is also one of the criteria, the UP govt has planted over 200 crore trees of which over 70% have survived. But the finance commission counts forest covered areas if tree plantation is not done densely. "The demand to keep tree plantation in the forest criteria was also raised before the Finance Commission," Khanna said.

HC bench orders UP govt not to demolish any madrassa in Shravasti
Lucknow: The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad high court has ordered that the Uttar Pradesh authorities would not take any coercive action against more than two dozen madrassas of Shravasti district. It also cautioned the state that it would not demolish any madrassas which have approached the court. The bench asked the state government to file its reply against the writ petitions till July 3. A bench of Justice Jaspreet Singh passed the order on the petitions moved by Madarssa Moinul Islam Qasmiya Samiti and 26 other madrassas individually in Shravasti. In April, the UP had govt launched a major drive against illegal encroachments in districts near the India-Nepal border, Bahraich, Shravasti, Siddharthnagar, Maharajganj, and Balrampur, demolishing hundreds of unauthorised structures, including unrecognised religious institutions. Illegal constructions were demolished in Shravasti and Bahraich, while in Siddharthnagar, 12 illegal structures were identified and notices issued. In Lakhimpur Kheri, a day-long survey found no illegal encroachments. These actions target long-standing illegal occupations of valuable border land, which the Yogi govt is determined to reclaim, the UP govt order said. In his order on Friday, Justice Singh observed, "It is now equally well settled that where any notice in the nature of a show cause is issued, it must be issued with sufficient particularity so that the noticee can respond specifically and can know what charge is to be replied." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo The bench had already passed a similar order allowing a petition filed in connection with another such madrassa, Maktab Anwarul Uloom, Shravasti, on May 14.
