Home minister Gulab Chand Kataria on Sunday said implementing new formula of Centre-Sponsored Schemes (CSS) will put additional financial burden on states, which should be borne by the centre.
Kataria expressed the view while addressing the XI-Inter State Council Meet held at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi on Sunday.
The meeting was attended by union home minister Rajnath Singh and finance minister Arun Jaitley, besides chief ministers and ministers.
Kataria said in majority of CSSs, the proportion of financial partnership between the centre and states is 75:25, but the new formula of 60:40 ratio will put additional financial burden on states.
The minister also mentioned about the financial difficulties being faced by states in the implementation of Pradhan Mantri Aawas Yojna, he said.
Kataria said that states should also be given share in the cess and surcharge levied by the central government, so that the states could also easily fulfil their financial responsibilities.
Replying on the issue, Jaitley said the issue will be resolved once the Goods and Services Tax will comes into force, as states will be compensated.
