Which of the following is not a charged expenditure on the Consolidated Fund of India?

1. Expenditure on Five-year plans
2. Expenditure on the Chairman and Members of the UPSC
3. Expenditure on the Judges of the Supreme Court
4. Debt charges of the Government of India

Correct Option: A

A plan is financed from Balance from Current Revenues (BCR); borrowings including net MCR; Net Flow from Abroad; Gross Budgetary Support for the Plan; Central assistance to States and UTs; Gross Budgetary Support (GBS) for Central Plan, Resources of Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs); and Resources for Central Plan. The balance from current revenues available for a 5 year plan depends upon the transferred resources from Centre and State's own revenues (sum of these two equals receipts) along with the relative stability of the non-plan expenditure, i.e. the extent to which a state is able to keep its non-plan expenditure under control.
