<h1>State fiscal sustainability concerns prompt Commission to seek long-term agricultural finance strategy and address revenue shortfalls.</h1> The Finance Commission highlighted Karnataka's strengths-revenue surplus, Fiscal Responsibility framework, strong own tax revenue and low committed expenditure-while flagging risks to state fiscal sustainability: volatile GSDP growth, falling non tax revenue buoyancy, rising off budget borrowings, a GST revenue shortfall and large crop loan waiver liabilities. The Commission requested the State's plan for a long term, financially sustainable strategy to address agricultural distress and stated these concerns will be considered in its final report.
