Correct Answer :
Question from BPSC PT 71, 2025
Correct Answer: c) 1 and 4 are correct
Explanation:
– Protection of wildlife — Concurrent List (Entry 17B). Shifted from State to Concurrent by the 42nd Amendment.
– Income on agriculture — State List (Entry 46: Taxes on agricultural income). Hence, not concurrent.
– Tax on electricity consumption or sale — State List (Entry 53). Note: Electricity as a subject is concurrent (Entry 38), but the tax on its consumption/sale is a state subject.
– Price control — Concurrent List (Entry 34).
