Manohar Lal Khattar today hailed the Centre's move of accepting the 14th Finance 
Commission's recommendations for a substantial hike in share of states in central taxes.
Thanking Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Khattar said that the acceptance of 
recommendation of transfer of 42% of divisible pool to the states including taxes,

he said. Khattar also welcomed the decision to give up the distinction between plan and 
non-plan allocations.
