Last month, the government extended the term of 15th Finance Commission, which is to decide on division of tax and other resources between the Centre and the states, by about one year to Oct. 30, 2020.
The term of the commission was originally set to end in October 2019, but was extended by one month to Nov. 30.
The extension of the term was given to enable the commission to examine various comparable estimates for financial projections in view of reforms and the new realities to finalise its recommendations for the period 2020-2026.
