Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

Under Article 270 of the Constitution, taxes are shared between the Centre and States based on Finance Commission recommendations. However, surcharges and cesses are excluded from this 'divisible pool' and are retained entirely by the Central Government.

The components mentioned in the CDS-I 2024 exam are:

  • 1. Special Additional Excise Duty (SAED): A surcharge on petroleum products.
  • 2. Road and Infrastructure Cess (RIC): A specific-purpose cess.
  • 3. Agriculture Infrastructure and Development Cess (AIDC): A specific-purpose cess introduced in the 2021-22 Budget.

Because all three are classified as either a surcharge or a cess, none of them are shareable with the States. Consequently, the correct code is 1, 2, and 3.
