The plan outlay
of 2015-16 reflects the compositional shift in the allocations for various Programmes
and Schemes in view of high devolution; 42% of Union Taxes, to States as per
the recommendation of 14th Finance Commission. Making his Budget
Speech while presenting the General Budget 2015-16, the Finance Minister, Shri
Arun Jaitley said that consequent to this substantially higher devolution, many
schemes on the State subjects are to be delinked from Central support.
However, keeping in mind that some of these schemes represent national
priorities especially those targeted at poverty alleviation, Centre has decided
that it will continue to contribute to such schemes, the Minister added.
Besides, the schemes mandated by legal obligations and those backed by Cess
collection have been fully provided for.
As per the
Budget 2015-16, centre has decided to support fully which are targeted to the
benefits of socially disadvantaged group. In case of some Centrally Sponsored
Schemes, the Centre: State funding pattern will undergo a change with States to
contribute higher share. Details of changes in sharing pattern will have to be
worked out by administrative Ministry/Department. The details of Plan outlays
in 2015-16 are to be seen against this backdrop.
In the General
Budget 2015-16, there are 31 Schemes to be fully sponsored by the Union
Government, 8 Schemes have been delinked from support of the Centre and 24
Schemes will now be run with the changed sharing pattern.
To enhance
public spending in the economy, Government has significantly enhanced the
capital expenditure despite fiscal pressure. In comparison to capital spending
of Rs. 192378 crore in RE 2014-15, the capital spending will be Rs. 241431
crore in 2015-16. This will be a growth of 25.5 per cent.
