The Economic Advisory Council to the Prime Minister (EAC-PM) is an independent body constituted to provide economic advice to the Prime Minister of India.

Option 1: Ratan P. Watal is incorrect. Although Ratan P. Watal is a significant member of the EAC-PM, he is not the Chairman.

Option 2: Bibek Debroy is the correct answer. He is the Chairman of the EAC-PM. He is an Indian economist and author known for his critical role in structural reforms in India and important contributions to Game theory and Economic theory.

Option 3: Ashima Goyal is incorrect. While she is a part of the council, she is not the Chairperson.

Option 4: Sajjad Chinoy is incorrect. Despite being a member of the EAC-PM, he does not head the council.

Therefore, the correct answer is Bibek Debroy (Option 2).
