Which one of the following is not correct ?
a. Taxes on agricultural income is a subject under the State List.
b. Price control is a subject under the Concurrent List.
c. Insurance does not come under the Union List.
d. 'Forests' is a subject under the Concurrent List.

Accepted Answer

c. Insurance does not come under the Union List.
Insurance is in the Union List (Entry 47), so the statement that it is not a Union subject is wrong.

In the Seventh Schedule, insurance is Entry 47 of the Union List; taxes on agricultural income are Entry 46 of the State List; price control is Entry 34 of the Concurrent List; and forests became a Concurrent subject (Entry 17A) under the 42nd Amendment, 1976.

Answer

Answer

Answer
