Incentives and Regulations for Pollution abatement
- Completion date जनवरी., 1994
- Sponsor Ministry of Environment and Forest
- Project leader Sudipto Mundle

This study is divided into three parts. The first part reviews the existing pollution control regime in India. A quantitative assessment of the impact of the regime on air quality and water quality including an assessment of the Ganga Action Programme is made in this part of the study. In the second part four different control regimes through market based instruments are recommended for experimentation. In order to illustrate how the schemes can be operationalized, abatement cost functions are estimated for the pulp and paper industry. This forms the third part of the study. Finally, the study shows how the "producers' surplus" from abatement exceeds the annualized capital cost of setting up effluent treatment plants, thus making pollution abatement a profitable venture under the proposed market-based control regimes.

It examines the trends in Central and State government expenditures since 1974-75 in terms of both budgetary categories and economic and functional classification. The study attempts to explain the trends as an outcome of the operation of various interest group politics. It highlights the phenomenal increase in current expenditure during the eighties. The study also brings out how the increasing divergence in expenditure levels among the States had tended to rise and tries to identify the underlying factors.

The study reviews the deficiencies of the existing system of excise and sales taxation and proposes a possible scheme of Value Added Tax (VAT) on which there could be a broad agreement among the Centre and the States, and which could provide an effective remedy for many of the ills of the present system of indirect taxation. The legal, administrative and institutional requirements are also briefly discussed. It is hoped that the study would serve to initiate a debate on the issues requiring immediate attention and possible options.
