Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Direct taxes (like Income Tax) are levied on income and wealth. They are progressive in nature, meaning the tax rate increases with higher income, not regressive. S1 is correct, S2 is incorrect.
S1: In the context of PFMS, the 'Direct Benefit Transfer' (DBT) scheme mandates the use of Aadhaar for authentication. S2: DBT transfers funds directly from the government treasury to the beneficiary's bank account. Which statement(s) is/are correct?
Explanation:
Both statements are correct. DBT aims to eliminate leakages by transferring funds directly to beneficiaries' accounts via PFMS, and it heavily relies on Aadhaar seeding and authentication for identity verification.
