<h1>Shiv Sena Demands State Share in Central Cess, Highlights 15th Finance Commission Concerns on Revenue Distribution</h1> A Shiv Sena member urged that state governments receive a share of the central cess and surcharges, which have increased significantly, now comprising 14.5% of gross tax revenue. The member argued this revenue is not part of the divisible pool for states, highlighting concerns raised by the 15th Finance Commission. Allegations of discrimination against Maharashtra were made, citing insufficient returns on tax collections and high unemployment. Other members, including those from Southern states, echoed calls for fair fund distribution. Criticism was also directed at the central government for perceived bias against non-BJP ruled states.
