All states have now received an option of Rs 1.1 lakh crore in which the Centre will borrow the amount and transfer to the states as loans on consecutive grounds. With distinctive conditions, the center has given 2 choices of borrowing Rs 97,000 crore and Rs 2.35 lakh crore and both are for bridging the GST shortfall. And from two the union has opted for the 2nd option by enhancing the borrowing to Rs 1.1 lakh crore. The 2nd state is denied then as the union seeks no interest in it.

Various states have not accepted any option while on a later move they opted for the 1st option. In October 2020 the center set up a special borrowing window so as to fill the shortfall which had been raised on the GST implementation.
