Option 2 : 1 and 2 only 

The correct answer is option 2, i.e 1 and 2 only.

Krishi Kalyan Cess (KKC)

  • A cess could be a tax that's levied by the government to boost funds for a selected purpose.
  • The new cess is supposed to be levied at a rate of 0.5% on all goods and services where the government can levy service taxes. Hence statement 1 and 2 is correct.
  • It is alleged to promote various initiatives within the domain of agriculture and also finance them.
  • KKC would be levied, charged, collected and paid to Government independent of Service Tax.
  • The proceeds of the Krishi Kalyan Cess shall first be credited to the Consolidated Fund of India.

NOTE

  • The Ministry of Finance had gradually disposed of several cesses with the Goods and Services Tax (GST) rollout, including the KKC which was abolished on July 1, 2017.
  • KKC is different from KKS in the sense that KKS will be levied on undisclosed income at a rate of 7.5%. Hence statement 3 is incorrect.
