In a tweet, the Office of Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said, “GoI has released a total amount of Rs 92,077 crore, as state’s share in the devolution of central taxes and duties for the months of April and May 2020.”
The devolution amount for April stood at Rs 46,038.10 crore, while for May, it is Rs 46,038.70 crore.
The tweet said that these releases are according to projections of receipts in Budget Estimate 2020-21 and have not been adjusted for the actual tax collections, impacting the Centre’s cash balances.
“This is a special gesture to ensure that the states’ cash flows remain undisturbed at this crucial time,” it added.
