New Delhi: The 15th Finance Commission s final recommendations for the period between 2021 and 2026 have been tabled in the Indian parliament. The Finance Commission recommends share of states in central taxes at 41%, the same as FY21. ET Now’s Ruchi Bhatia caught up with the Chairman of 15th Finance Commission NK Singh and began by asking him about the budget, the call for restructuring the FRBM act, higher health spends and a lot more.
