Vijayanagara Taxation


Statement 1 talks about the tax on land quality. Ok? First we have to think When an Empire will start levying tax on land quality?
It is not a simple tax, there are lot of processes involved in assessing the land quality. So it will be possible when the empire is stable and well established.
And it is a common knowledge that Vijayanagara was a big powerful empire that lasted centuries. So it was big and stable more so under the rule of Krishna Deva. Hence our statement 1 is absolutely correct.
Similarly Akbar was one to establish an extensive tax system once the Mughal empire was stable.
Statement 2 can also be answered using common knowledge. In Vijayanagara the King was the ultimate authority. So everyone basically breathing his air has to pay tax else he should be in a service to the king. So private owner should pay tax in cash or manufactured goods. If I’m not wrong people were even taxed for keeping a garden in their home or for decorating their homes. So our statement 2 is correct.

Answer is C) Both 1 and 2

Payment Banks

This is a very easy question if you know the concept of a PAYMENT BANK, then is it’s quite factual. If you don’t know, then we will think upon it. Why would RBI conceptualize Payment bank? Obvious answer would be to bring rural population into the banking fold (Banking Inclusion) so that people can park their excess money in the bank and get an interest. At the same time RBI cannot make it like a normal bank. So there will be limitations. If you them directly it would be “non thinker” question. For those who don’t know it, this question that you should not leave but give a calculated guess. So when I read the 2 nd and 3 rd statement I find them contradicting to each other.  Look in 2 nd statement it says it can issue credit cards and in 3 rd it says in it cannot give loan. If a bank can issue a credit card it should be eligible to lend money. Either one of them is correct. 2 and 3 cannot exist together Option D out. Now statement 1 is talking about big players,...

Bill Lapsing

Firstly we do the word by word analysis, Statement 1 Most important word is PROROGATION. So what is prorogation?  In layman terms Prorogation means ending the entire session of the parliament not any day of the session. Next thing we have to know is that Prorogation is not the end of the house, mostly same MPs will be occupying the seats when they come for the next session. So there is no point in bill lapsing after a PROROGATION (because it is not dissolution) So statement 1 is wrong Statement 2 Most important word is DISSOLUTION of Loksabha. Dissolution means the entire lower house is about to change, new MPs are about to come means new legislations are about to come. Here the bill originated in Rajya Sabha it has not touched the Loksabha. So there is no point in ‘lapsing’ that bill as Rajya Sabha is a permanent house and it can give the same bill to new coming Loksabha. So statement 2 is Correct So our answer is B And thank God they didn’t ...
