Dr. C. Rangarajan Committee is associated with which one of the following ?

Dr. C. Rangarajan has chaired several high-level committees in India. Most notably, in 2006, he chaired the 'Committee on Pricing and Taxation of Petroleum Products', which recommended a shift to trade parity pricing and a reduction in customs duties on petrol and diesel to manage the fiscal burden of subsidies. While he also chaired a committee on poverty estimation (2014) [1] and the National Statistical Commission (2001) [4], the specific option regarding petroleum pricing is a landmark policy association. Although he was a member of the Sukhamoy Chakravarty Committee (1985) which dealt with money supply regulation [2], and he has written extensively on monetary aggregates [4], the 'Rangarajan Committee' as a standalone entity in policy discourse is most frequently identified with petroleum pricing or poverty estimation. Given the options, petroleum pricing is the primary association.
