💨 Abstract

The Arunachal Pradesh government has requested the 16th Finance Commission to consider a special financial package of Rs 6.89 lakh crore to compensate for its exclusion from externally aided projects supported by international agencies. The state also seeks restoration of Special Category Status, increase in vertical and horizontal tax devolution, and cent percent central funding for centrally sponsored schemes.
