3. Strategic location along borders with neighbouring countries
4. Economic and infrastructure backwardness
5. Non viable state finances

Special Category Status and States

Special category status states used to get generous central assistance for plan purposes under the Gadgil Mukharjee formula. Here 30% of the assistance was earmarked to these states, 90% of it is given as a grant and 10% as loan.

Another benefit is special category status states get income tax and excise duty exemptions on investments.

 

12th finance commission has recommended for discontinuation of lending to the states by Centre and allowing them to borrow from the market.

14th finance commission has done away with distinction between Plan and non plan grants given under the Gadgil Mukharjee formula for state plan schemes. It got subsumed under the formula for tax devolution and grants. So, the benefit of higher central assistance due to special category status does not exist.
