Delhi | Thursday | 18th July, 2019

Summary:

NEW DELHI: Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday wrote letters to Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman over the need of funds for Delhi. "I would like to bring to your kind attention that the Government of NCT of Delhi has a separate Consolidated Fund w.e.f. The CM also noted that the omission of article 270(3) resulted in an anomaly which has adversely affected the finances of Delhi.

" 325.00 crore per annum since the year 2000 which happened to be the last year of the duration of the Tenth Finance Commission. Leaving out Union Territories out of the ambit of Finance Commissions, has only affected the Union Territories with Legislature since the Budget of the other Union Territories is entirely met from the Consolidated Fund of India," he wrote..
