The Commission recommended that the proposed normal limit for net borrowings of State governments be fixed at 4 per cent of GSDP in 2021-22, 3.5 per cent in 2022- 23 and maintained at 3 per cent of GSDP from 2023-24 to 2025-26. The Commission has also recommended an extra annual borrowing space for the States, of 0.50 per cent of their GSDP for 2021-22 to 2024-25, based on performance criteria in the power sector.
