👉🏻SPECIAL CATEGORY STATUS (SCS)

The special category status was introduced in 1969 on the recommendations of the Fifth Finance Commission to benefit certain backward states having hilly terrains, strategic international borders, and economic and infrastructural backwardness.

To be able to get the status, states have to fulfill the following requirements: -

They need to have hilly and difficult terrain - They need to have low population density and /or a sizeable share of the tribal population - They must be in a strategic location along borders with neighbouring countries - They must be economically and infrastructurally backward - They must have non-viable nature of state finances.

👉🏻BENEFITS

Under this status, the government pays 90 per cent of the funds in schemes that the Centre sponsors. In case of unspent money, the states with SCS have the provision to carry it forward. These states also enjoy a significant concession on excise, customs duties, income tax, and corporate tax.
