Tamil Nadu Forms Committee to Revise Revenue Model Amid Fiscal Challenges
Tamil Nadu has appointed a six-member Revenue Augmentation Committee led by former Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia to address the state's fiscal challenges. The committee's broad mandate includes improving tax and non-tax revenues, rationalising fees, plugging leakages, and exploring under-utilised income sources like land monetisation and PSU dividends. Tamil Nadu faces structural fiscal stress with over Rs 10 lakh crore in direct debt and a declining own-tax-to-GSDP ratio, prompting a need to rethink its revenue model beyond new taxes.
