Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR), an autonomous administrative authority in Assam’s Bodo tribal areas, has demanded its inclusion in Article 280 of the Constitution to get more funds for the development of some remote districts
Article 280 provides for a Finance Commission which is a quasi-judicial body. It is constituted by the President of India.
This provision mandates the President to constitute a Finance Commission every five years or at such an earlier time as deemed necessary. The commission’s primary role is to recommend the distribution of net proceeds of taxes between the Union and the States, ensuring a balanced economic and financial administration. This mechanism is crucial for maintaining fiscal federalism in India, facilitating equitable financial relations between the central government and the states, and ensuring a fair allocation of resources to meet the developmental needs across the nation
