Abstract: The constitution of India endowed Indian states by means of many revenue sources. Meanwhile, it burdened them with a host of developmental obligations also. As a result, vertical inequity and horizontal inequity are very common in the finances of Governments in any federal set-up for which India is no exception. Due to these inequities in the distribution of revenue sources and responsibilities, most of the state Governments was subject to under performance of their fiscal functions. Therefore, undertaking of developmental obligations without much strain on the finances of the Governments is one of the core issues of state finance. State Governments are making strenuous efforts in adjusting their financial operations so as to have a balanced fiscal without having much deficits or strains. Whether the finances of state governments are subject to fiscal strain or ease can be assessed by means of certain devices known as fiscal health indicators or fiscal soundness indicators. As such, measurement of fiscal health or soundness forms an integral part of any analysis pertaining to state finances. This aspect of state finances in Indian federation form the subject matter of this study. Meanwhile, it burdened them with a host of developmental obligations also.
