Consider the following Constitutional Provisions :
1. No demand for a grant shall be made except on the recommendation of the President.
2. No tax shall be levied or collected except by the authority of law.
3. Parliament can reduce or abolish a tax but cannot increase it.
How many of the above statements is/are correct ?
Answer: C
All three provisions are correct: All three.
Article 113(3) provides that no demand for a grant shall be made except on the recommendation of the President. Article 265 provides that no tax shall be levied or collected except by authority of law.
The third is part of the constitutional scheme of financial legislation: a proposal to impose or increase a tax needs the President's recommendation and must come from the government, so Parliament on its own can reduce or abolish a tax but cannot increase it.
