Mobilisation of State’s Tax Revenue (1958-59 to 1988-89)-A Study in Orissa

The main objectives of the study are to examine the growth and structure of the tax revenue and the additional measures taken by the State Government for mobilising its tax revenue. This is done in the context of a time-series analysis in Orissa. Empirical results show that the growth, structure and additional mobilisation of tax revenue after the Emergency changed for the better from that before the Emergency. The political stability seems to play a major role in this context.
