The present paper made an attempt to measure the fiscal performance of North Eastern (NE) states and 14 major states to observe the relative position of NE states among all states of India. A composite fiscal performance index has been developed to observe the performance. It has been observed that the overall fiscal performance of NE states is better than the general category states. However, increasing debt as a percentage of GSDP of NE states is a worrisome matter.

A composite fiscal performance index has been developed to observe the performance. It has been observed that the overall fiscal performance of NE states is better than the general category states. However, increasing debt as a percentage of GSDP of NE states is a worrisome matter.
