Statutory text

During the first three financial years
after the commencement of this Constitution, the same grants, if any, shall be
made by the Union and by each State ** for the benefit of the Anglo-Indian
community in respect of education as were made in the financial year ending
on the thirty-first day of March, 1948.
During every succeeding period of three years the grants may be less by
ten per cent. than those for the immediately preceding period of three years:
Provided that at the end of ten years from the commencement of this
Constitution such grants, to the extent to which they are a special concession to
the Anglo-Indian community, shall cease:
Provided further that no educational institution shall be entitled to
receive any grant under this article unless at least forty per cent. of the annual
admissions therein are made available to members of communities other than
the Anglo-Indian community.
