    B 40% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The States’ share in the divisible pool is set at 41%, the same as under the 15th Finance Commission. The divisible pool is defined as gross tax revenue minus cess, surcharge, and collection cost. This share determines how much of the Centre’s net divisible tax proceeds are distributed to states through tax devolution.
