Unconditional grant is the minimum amount to be paid to the local governments to run the decentralised services. For a given fiscal year, this amount is equal to the amount paid to local governments in the preceding fiscal year for the same items adjusted' for general price changes plus or minus the budgeted cost of running added or subtracted services; calculated in accordance with the following formula
Y 1 =Yo + b Yo + X 1
= (1+b)Yo + X 1
Where— Y 1 is the minimum unconditional grant for the current fiscal year; Yo is the minimum unconditional grant in the preceding fiscal year; b is the percentage change, if any, in the general price levels in the preceding fiscal year; and X^1 is the net change in the budgeted cost of running added and subtracted services in the current year.
