The Centre has released the state‑wise breakup of pre‑Diwali tax devolution, with Uttar Pradesh receiving ₹19,208 crore and Sikkim ₹365 crore.
The Ministry of Finance has published the latest state‑wise allocation of the pre‑Diwali tax devolution. Uttar Pradesh, the country’s most populous state, has been allotted a staggering ₹19,208 crore, the largest share among all states.
Sikkim, on the other hand, received ₹365 crore, the smallest allocation in the list. The figures reflect the Centre’s fiscal policy aimed at balancing revenue distribution across the Union.
The tax devolution is part of the annual fiscal plan that redistributes centrally collected taxes to states to support their development programmes. The announcement comes ahead of the Diwali celebrations, a period when the government typically releases such allocations.
Analysts say the distribution will help states meet their budgetary requirements for the upcoming financial year, especially in sectors like infrastructure and social welfare.
