Tamil Nadu’s Assembly adopts a unanimous resolution calling for a fairer and more transparent method for devolving Union taxes to states. The resolution urges the Union government to use a methodology that is objective and equitable, as presented by Finance Minister N. Marie Wilson, who moves the measure in the House. Sources report that the resolution focuses on ensuring that states receive an appropriate share of Central tax proceeds under norms that balance fiscal performance with safeguards for states that manage population effectively. The measure also seeks to prevent states from being disadvantaged as a result of population control outcomes. Across the outlets, the central thrust is consistent: Tamil Nadu requests changes to current tax-devolution arrangements so that the system rewards fiscal performance while maintaining protections so that states are not penalized for demographic policy successes. The resolution reflects the state’s position that existing devolution practices do not adequately meet these objectives and calls on the Centre to address the issue through revised, transparent criteria.
