The Municipal Council can not levy tax on one of the following :
Answer: D
The keyed answer is the professional tax.
In Maharashtra the tax on professions, trades, callings and employments is levied by the State under the Maharashtra State Tax on Professions, Trades, Callings and Employments Act, 1975, and collected by the State, so a municipal council does not levy it. Article 276 of the Constitution allows such a tax to be levied by a State or by a municipality, but in this State it is the State that does.
A tax on houses (property tax) is the main tax of a municipal council. I could not confirm from a source what the paper means by an environment tax or an education tax, so the question rests on the key that these are municipal levies and the professional tax is not.
