Which of the following has not been one of the terms of reference of the Thirteenth Finance Commission of India ?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Under Article 280 of the Constitution, the Finance Commission recommends the distribution of the net proceeds of shareable taxes between the Union and the States, the principles governing grants-in-aid, and measures to augment State Consolidated Funds for Panchayats and Municipalities. The Thirteenth Finance Commission was also asked to review State finances and debt relief, but a 'method of rescheduling the debt burdens of the States in view of their growing deficits' was not one of its terms of reference.
