Land Based Fiscal Tools StudyCities are known to be engines of economic growth. Efficiency of these engines depends upon the infrastructure services available and the way in which they are financed. HPEC and The Working Group on Urban Development for the Twelfth Five-Year Plan have recognised land based fiscal tools as a promising avenue of augmenting financial resources for urban infrastructure financing. Accordingly, Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India commissioned this ‘Study of Land Based Fiscal Tools and Practices for Generating Additional Financial Resources’ under the aegis of Capacity Building for Urban Development Project (CBUD).
