States have raised several demands in the pre-budget meeting with Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in Jaisalmer on Friday evening.
States emphasized the need for additional funding for disaster relief. They requested more allocation for the State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF).

According to sources, some States asked the central government to bear a larger share of land acquisition costs for projects.

Some have demanded before the Centre to increase allocation for 50-year interest-free loans.

Some have also urged for an increase in borrowing limits to support fiscal activities, sources added.
