Who among the following is the Chairman of Fourteenth Finance Commission?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
The Fourteenth Finance Commission, constituted under Article 280 in 2013, was chaired by Dr. Y.V. Reddy, a former Governor of the Reserve Bank of India. Its award covered 2015-20 and raised the states' share of the divisible pool of central taxes to 42 per cent.
Sushma Nath, M. Govinda Rao and Abhijit Sen served on the same Commission as members, not as its chairman. Later Commissions were chaired by N.K. Singh (Fifteenth) and Arvind Panagariya (Sixteenth).
