Explanation
The 14th Finance Commission (chaired by Y.V. Reddy, for 2015–2020) recommended raising the states' share in the divisible pool of central taxes from 32% to 42% — the largest ever increase in vertical devolution. It was not the 12th, 13th or 15th Commission that made this 42% recommendation. Hence the 14th Finance Commission is correct.
