The government has approved an additional instalment of Rs 81,735 crore as tax devolution to the state governments, which will be released on 2 June 2025, a finance ministry statement said on Friday. This release is in addition to the regular monthly instalment of tax devolution of Rs 81,735 crore, which is scheduled for release on 10 June 2025.
