Under Article 243-I, the State Finance Commission is constituted every five years "to make recommendations to the Governor as to the principles which should govern … the taxes and duties which may be assigned to, or appropriated by, the Panchayats." Therefore the State Finance Commission (not district planning bodies or state ministries) advises the Governor on this matter.
