What we know
As a union territory, Puducherry is outside the Finance Commission's devolution of central taxes. It depends on central grants and carries its own debt.
Open questions
- How large is the debt, and how much of the yearly budget goes to repaying it?
- How have central grants changed over the last ten years?
- What would bringing Puducherry under Finance Commission devolution change?
