Which one of the following statements about the Attorney General of India is not correct ?

According to Article 76 of the Constitution of India, the Attorney General (AG) is the highest law officer in the country. While the AG represents the Union Government in the Supreme Court, their right of audience is not restricted to it. Article 76(3) explicitly states that in the performance of official duties, the Attorney General shall have the right of audience in all courts within the territory of India [2]. Regarding other options, the AG must be qualified to be appointed as a Judge of the Supreme Court [1][2]. Their primary duty is to provide legal advice to the Government of India on matters referred by the President. Furthermore, the Constitution does not fix a salary; instead, the AG receives such remuneration as the President may determine [2]. Therefore, statement 1 is incorrect as it unduly limits the AG's jurisdictional rights.
