Finance Commission is the final authority to certify the net proceeds of the taxes. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?ÂSolution
Article 280 of the Constitution of India provides for a Finance Commission as a quasi-judicial body. Hence statement 1 is correct. The Constitution authorizes the Parliament to determine the qualifications of members of the commission and the manner in which they should be selected. For this purpose, the Finance Commission (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 1951 has been enacted. Hence statement 2 is not correct.  • Under Article 279 -“net proceeds” of any tax or duty, or of any part of any tax or duty, in or attributable to any area shall be ascertained and certified by the Comptroller and Auditor-General of India, whose certificate shall be final. Hence statement 3 is not correct.
