Sir, I beg to move:
“That in clause (2) of article 251. after the words ‘such percentage’ the words ‘not being less than sixty per cent,’ be inserted and the words ‘or the taxes payable in respect of Union emoluments’ be deleted : and the following proviso be added to clause (2) of article 251 :-
‘Provided that for a period of five years from the commencement of this Constitution, of the net proceeds assigned to the States, thirty-three and one-third per cent., shall be distributed among the States on the basis of population, fifty-eight and one-third per cent. on the basis of collection and the remaining eight and one-third per cent. shall be distributed in such manner as may be prescribed.’ “
