Inside the platform

What you can explore.

Follow the flows

Explore tax devolution and grants across 28 states for FY 2020–21 to FY 2024–25.

Compare fairly

View both absolute transfers and per-capita measures to see how population changes the comparison.

Look across years

Use the five-year view to understand direction and variation beyond a single budget.

The thinking behind it

Context matters.

Public data, policy context

The analysis draws on Finance Commission and Union Budget documents. Its focus is the relationship between contributions, transfers, and the equity questions behind the allocation formula.

This is a historical analysis for FY 2020–21 to FY 2024–25, not a live budget feed.
