In response to a question in the Lok Sabha, Union minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary stated that seven states—UP, bihar, madhya pradesh, West Bengal, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, and Odisha—will receive a total of Rs 7,75,242.02 crore. This indicates that these seven states receive 60% of the Center's tax income. UP receives the largest proportion (18%), followed by bihar (10%). Together, the three states of Uttar Pradesh, bihar, and madhya pradesh receive 36%.
 
The central government distributed Rs 12,86,885.44 crore to 28 states through march 10, 2024.  Seven states received 60% of the overall allocation, with the remaining 21 states receiving 40%. The combined tax income received by the southern states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala, Karnataka, and tamil Nadu came to Rs 2,03,237.38 crore, or 15.79%.

According to the statistics, the combined contribution of the five states was 11.92% lower than that of UP alone, or Rs 27,527.24 crore. While the northern states received a larger portion of the Center's tax earnings, the chief ministers of the southern states were already griping that their states contributed more taxes than the others.  The most recent data has become significant in this context, nearly validating the southern states' anxiety.

Netizens comment that Northern States are begging from Southern States and it is the Southern States who feed them and still bjp playing dirty politics in Southern States.
