    UPSC-CSE 2021 results have shaken the long held belief that the examination can only be cleared after multiple attempts. Most of the UPSC-CSE toppers like Satyam Gandhi (AIR 10), Ria Dabi (AIR 15), Yash Jaluka (AIR 4), Mamta Yadav (AIR 5) and Shashwat Tripurari (AIR 19) cleared the exam as fresh graduates in their very first attempt. How were they able to do it?

    If you watch their strategy videos, you can find a common pattern — they started 12-24 months in advance before the exam.

    One of the benefits of starting your preparation early is the time you would get to revise and practice test series upon completing the syllabus. Also, you would get ample time to pay attention to every subject. There are totally 9 papers in UPSC-CSE Mains and 2 papers in Prelims exams. Not to forget, the daily current affairs. Many aspirants need time to figure out how they can prepare in an understandable manner. That’s why starting your preparation eight months before the exam is not advisable.

    However, what’s the best way to prepare, if you aren’t a fan of making mistakes and figuring it out along the way? We understand how annoying it might be for you if you were to study in a certain way for months together and then realize that it doesn’t align with the UPSC-CSE way of doing things.

    Do you know an ideal preparation would be divided into five phases and spread across 18 months? This means each phase will be about three to four months long.

    This is what Civilsdaily mentor and 6 time Mains, 2 Time Interview candidate Shubham Jatte sir would be discussing in the upcoming webinar.

  • [Yojana Archive] Financial Devolution

    UPSC 2022 countdown has begun! Get your personal guidance plan now! (Click here)

    November 2021: Panchayati Raj

    Financial powers to Panchayat

    • The 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act, 1992, promulgated on 24 April 1993, has been inserted as Part IX in the Constitution that enjoins the States to establish Panchayats.
    • It lays down that “the State shall take steps to organise village Panchayats and endow them with such powers and authority as may be necessary to enable them to function as units of self-government.”

    Need for financial devolution:

    • To strengthen democracy at grass root level with more revenue resources for better service delivery.
    • To increase accountability to people so performance can be realized as direct contact with people.

    Various Constitutional Provisions

    • Collection of Taxes: States have been provided the powers to authorise the PRIs to levy, collect, and appropriate certain taxes, duties, tolls, fees, etc.
    • Share of revenues: They can also assign to them the revenues of certain State-level taxes, subject to such conditions as are imposed by the State Government.
    • Grant-in-aid: The PRIs may also be provided with grant-in-aid.
    • State Finance Commission for review: In support of these requirements, Article 243-I of the Constitution mandates setting up of the State Finance Commission (SFC) every five years.
    • Central provisions: Under the Article 280(3) (bb) of the Constitution, Central Finance Commissions are required to make recommendations to augment the Consolidated Fund of the State to supplement the resources of the Panchayats in the State.

    Central Finance Commission Recommendations

    • Recommendations for devolution to the Rural Local Bodies (RLBs) began from the Tenth Finance Commission onwards (period 1995-2000).
    • Up to the Twelfth Finance Commission (period 2005-10), nominal amounts of devolution were made to the RLBs on a lump sum basis.
    • Thirteenth Finance Commission (XIII FC) made a radical departure by awarding a percentage of the divisible pool.

    Fourteenth Finance Commission (XIV FC)

    • It has recommended an amount of Rs 200292.20 crore to the GPs in the country.
    • This amount was divided in Basic Grant (Rs. 180262.98 crores) and Performance Grant (Rs. 20029.22 crore).
    • It adopted a trust-based approach and recommended that the devolutions be made directly to the GPs without any share at the levels of other tiers.

    Fifteenth Finance Commission (XV FC)

    • It recommended devolution to all tiers of the Panchayati Raj including the Traditional Bodies of Non-Part IX States and Fifth and Sixth Schedule Areas.
    • XV FC grants are provided in two parts, namely-
    • Basic (Untied) Grant: For general purposes
    • Tied Grant: 30% of the total grants be utilised for drinking water, rainwater harvesting, and water recycling

    Own Sources of Revenues (OSRs) of RLB

    • The three tiers of the Panchayats have been provided with own revenue generating powers.
    • However, the GPs in general are empowered to levy the most number of taxes and non-taxes within their jurisdiction.
    • Property tax, cess on land revenue, surcharge on additional stamp duty, tolls, tax on professions, tax on advertisements, non-motor vehicle tax, user charges, etc. contribute the maximum to the OSR.

    Issues

    • OSR amounts manage to meet only around 10 per cent of the total expenditure of the panchayats.
    • In most States, the property tax generates the maximum revenue. However, this tax remains inelastic and adds to the inefficient ways of its administration.
    • A few progressive States like Karnataka have reformed the tax structure and are using the unit area method in determining the tax base.

    Hurdles in Financial Devolution

    • Political will: Reluctance of Politicians and bureaucrats to relinquish power to local bodies remain major hurdle.
    • Lack of resources: Issues like lack of expertise to plan development priorities and use resources optimally, lack of resources to implement development agenda with minimal avenues for taxation and income.
    • Lack of institutional mechanism: Non-uniformity of various programmes at local level can make regulatory oversight difficult.

    Way Forward

    • Updating of PRI Acts/Financial Rules and making them available to change in tax and non-tax levy, rate structure etc.
    • Better assessment of properties required for levying Property Tax (classified plinth area-based valuation seems to be the most scientific)
    • Relook on various exemptions to rationalise the taxes/levies
    • Augmentation of Tax Administration Structure
    • Technology-based Tax Administration may also be further expanded to cover even utility charges like water, street lights, sanitation charges, etc.

    “When I decided to prepare for UPSC-CSE, I knew I was not in a position to quit my private job. The work load was high at my present company, I was left with doubt if I could clear UPSC-CSE or not. That’s when I decided I needed a highly experienced personal mentor who will not only provide me study materials or evaluate test-series and mock interviews, but also won’t hesitate to motivate me whenever I felt uneasy or anxious. I found that in Civilsdaily mentor, Pravin sir. He was my go to mentor for Mains and Interview. I always made it a point to visit him weekly once and vent my feelings to him. After speaking to him, the clouds of negativity drifted away. I became confident to complete my studies for the day. It took me 3 attempts to fulfill not only my dream but my family’s dream.”

    Harvinder Singh’s life was filled with many hardships. Not because of UPSC-CSE preparation, but due to the unpredictable turn of events. When he was a three year old kid, his hand accidently fell into a pan of boiling hot oil in the kitchen. Due to this, three of his fingers have been severely impaired. As a 12th standard student, Harvinder studiously prepared for both AIEEE and NDA exams. Though he successfully, cleared the former exam, he failed the medical round of NDA (due to his fingers). Dejected that he missed an opportunity to serve the nation, Harvinder thought he cannot overlook supporting his family. His dad worked both as a farmer and truck driver to make ends meet. However, as a graduate in J&K, he found it extremely difficult to find a job.

    In 2013, he started his work as an engineer for a private company in Allahabad. Well settled, Harvinder thought of fulfilling his dream of serving the nation. If he couldn’t do it through Army, he could through civil services. After failing the prelims in first attempt, mains in second attempt, he finally cleared the exams in his third attempt to be an IAS officer. “I feared that in my third attempt, I will fail the personality round”, Harvinder jokes. Despite back to back failures, Harvinder always looked forward to his next attempt like it was his final attempt.

    “When I decided to prepare for UPSC-CSE, I knew I was not in a position to quit my private job. The work load was high at my present company, I was left with doubt if I could clear UPSC-CSE or not. That’s when I decided I needed a highly experienced personal mentor who will not only provide me study materials or evaluate test-series and mock interviews, but also won’t hesitate to motivate me whenever I felt uneasy or anxious. I found that in Civilsdaily mentor, Pravin sir. He was my go to mentor for Mains and Interview. I always made it a point to visit him weekly once and vent my feelings to him. After speaking to him, the clouds of negativity drifted away. I became confident to complete my studies for the day. It took me 3 attempts to fulfill not only my dream but my family’s dream.”
