constituent assembly of india debates (proceedings)- volume vii

(30) States which do not come into the arrangements to pay a contribution to the Centre to be
determined by the States Commission. (Para 95)*
(31) The interim Constitutional arrangements with the States to be flexible and small States to be
grouped together. (Paras 96 and 97)*
Conclusion
101. Some of our recommendations would need to be embodied in the Constitution while others
would be given effect to by the order of the President. We have attempted a draft of the necessary
provisions in the Constitution to give effect to the former; and these are set out in Appendix VI.*
102. Mr. Rangachari has signed this report in his personal capacity, and the views expressed in it
should not be treated as committing in any manner the Ministry of Finance of which he is an officer.
RANGACHARI.
