Option 3 : 2 only

The correct answer is 2 only.

  • The budget is prepared by the Department of Economic Affairs. Hence Option 1 is Not Correct.
  • Provident fund deposits, savings bank deposits, remittances etc are credited to the Public Account.
  • The Public Account is operated by the executive action i.e. payment from this account can be made without Parliamentary appropriation. Hence Option 3 is Not Correct.

The Constitution of India provides for the following three kinds of funds for the Central government:
1. Consolidated Fund of India (Article 266)
2. Public Account of India (Article 266)
3. Contingency Fund of India (Article 267)

Consolidated Fund of India

  • It is a fund to which all receipts are credited and all payments are debited. 
  • No money out of this fund can be appropriated (issued or drawn) except in accordance with parliamentary law. Hence Option 2 is correct.

Public Account of India

  • All other public money (other than those which are credited to the  Consolidated Fund of India) received by or on behalf of the Government of India shall be credited to the Public Account of India.
  • This account is operated by executive action, that is, the payments from this account can be made without parliamentary appropriation.
  • Such payments are mostly in the nature of banking transactions.

Contingency Fund of India

  • This fund is placed at the disposal of the president, and he can make advances out of it to meet unforeseen expenditure pending its authorisation by the Parliament.
  • The fund is held by the finance secretary on behalf of the President. Like the public account of India, it is also operated by executive action.

In each question below is given a statement numbered I, II and III. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the following assumption and decide which of the assumption is implicit in the statement. Statement: The June 2018 quarter results of Infosys reflect that the investors waiting for the company to perform as good, if not better, than its largest peer Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) may have to wait a little longer. Infosys, the country’s second-largest software exporter reported slower sequential growth in revenue and profit than TCS for the June quarter (Q1). It also lagged on the fronts of employee attrition and growth in the banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) vertical.  Assumptions: I. On the positive side, Infosys continued to add large clients – four in the above $100-million billing category compared with the previous quarter. It continued to retain guidance of 6-8% revenue growth for FY19 while retaining the operating margin band of 22-24%. II. In the near term, the stock performance of TCS is likely to overshadow Infosys given the difference in their growth trajectories. III. The growth momentum of Infosys has slowed relative to TCS. The year-on-year growth in trailing 12-month (TTM) revenue of Infosys in each of the four quarters up to the June 2018 quarter has lagged TCS after leading in the previous five quarters.?

Two statements are followed by three Conclusions I, II and III. You have to consider the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance from commonly known facts. You are to decide which of the given conclusions can definitely be drawn from the given statements and indicate your answer accordingly. Statements: I. After a Pay Commission bonanza of 2% hike in dearness allowance in March, central government employees and pensioners can expect another round of salary increase with the government set to modify the index and base year for calculating dearness allowance.  II. The labour ministry is working on a new series of consumer price index for industrial workers (CPI-IW), which is used to determine dearness allowance (DA).  Conclusions: I.

It is calculated as a percentage of an employee’s basic salary to mitigate the impact of inflation on people.  II. Since theindex is used to determine dearness allowance of all government employees and industrial workers there may be significant financial implication. III. The trend so far is that the weightage of transport, healthcare and housing has gone up many fold in the new series in the monthly expenditure of an industrial worker, especially consumption of petrol and diesel with the addition of cars to it, while there is decline in overall food basket which is being diversified.?
