  • https://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/coronavirus-finance-commission-india-fiscal-deficit-economic-package-covid-19-relief-measures-6458967/
  • In the intro, you can briefly state what do you mean by fiscal decentralisation.
  • In the body, focus on the factors like  FRBM limits on state, reducing the debt/GDP ratio, conditions on the state by the central government while increasing the borrowing limits, issue of GST   and compensation for revenue loss, and the issue of tax devolution to the states and role Finance Commission could play by emphasising on such issues in its report.
  • Conclude by stressing the need for addressing the issue faced by the states and how the Finance Commission could suggest the measures in its report to address such issues.

      Hi Dakshina
      Work on introduction,it should be catchy.
      In the introduction,explain briefly what is fiscal decentralization.
      Always read mentor’s comment before writing the answer.
      There are some good points in the body of the answer,but need to diversify the content.
      Explain the role of FRBM Act,central government conditions on state etc .
      Improve your handwriting and work on presentation to fetch extra marks.
      Underline only keywords.
      Work hard ,you will improve.

      introduction needs to be rephrased.
      work on basic grammar and spellings .
      the question was about fiscal decentralisation ,read mentor’s comment then write.
      deviated from the demand of the question.
      brainstorm before writing.
      keep writing,you will improve.

      Hi Deepika
      Work on presentation of your answer,
      It should look neat and should be legible.
      Introduction is not according to the demand of the question.
      Explain briefly what do you mean by fiscal decentralisation.
      You discussed good points in the body of answer.
      You can add GST issue also.
      Avoid using short forms.
      Overall a good attempt.
      Keep writing.

      Hi Vishesh
      Try to write short introduction.
      avoid long paragraphs,try to write in points or a mix of points and small paragraphs.
      Your second paragraph will work as introduction,no need of 1st paragraph.
      As there is word limit,try to write crisp.
      Work on content,add more points like GST issue ,issue of tax devolution etc.
      Read mentor’s comment before writing the answer.
      Work hard,you will improve.

      Hi Vinay

      Good introduction
      But you have focused only on the role of finance commission.
      The question is demanding much more.
      Need to enrich your content.
      Always read mentor’s comment before writing the answer to get the demand of the question.
      Work hard!

      Hi Parakh
      Introduction is not according to the demand of the question,rewrite it.
      do not draw lines between introduction ,body and conclusion.
      You did not understand the demand of the question,read mentor’s comment for that.
      The question is not about finance commission.
      Brainstorm before writing.
      Work on presentation.
      Avoid using short forms.
      Work hard,you will improve.
