The First State Finance Commission of Rajasthan was constituted in 1995 under the chairmanship of K.K. Goyal for the period 1995-2000. It recommended the transfer of 2.18% of the state’s net tax revenue to local bodies. Crucially, the commission’s mandate included both rural and urban local bodies, setting the precedent for inclusive fiscal devolution that supports the entire spectrum of local self-government institutions in the state.
Q8453. Which of the following offenses is an exception to the routine enforcement duties of the Traffic Police?
Explanation
Traffic Police are primarily concerned with road-related offenses such as drunk driving, exceeding speed limits, and disobeying traffic signals. These duties ensure public safety on highways and urban roads.
Q8454. Under the provisions of the Panchayati Raj Act in Rajasthan, who authorizes the Panchayats to levy, collect, and appropriate taxes, duties, tolls, and fees?
Explanation
The authority for Panchayats to levy, collect, and manage taxes, duties, and fees is derived from laws enacted by the State Legislature. While the Constitution provides the framework for local self-governance, it is the state-specific legislation that defines the exact scope of these taxing powers. This ensures that local revenue generation is conducted within a clear legal structure that specifies the types and limits of authorized local levies.
Q8455. Which of the following was NOT a feature of the colonial judicial system established by the British?
Explanation
The British system introduced the idea of the Rule of Law, a hierarchy of civil and criminal courts and codified law. It did not remove racial discrimination in the trial of Europeans, so B is not a feature.
Q8456. Consider the following statements and identify the correct option:
Statement I: The Special Operations Group (SOG) is equipped with advanced weaponry and technical surveillance tools.
Statement II: The SOG is primarily deployed for crowd control during religious festivals.
Statement I: The Special Operations Group (SOG) is equipped with advanced weaponry and technical surveillance tools.
Statement II: The SOG is primarily deployed for crowd control during religious festivals.
Explanation
The Special Operations Group is a high-readiness unit equipped with advanced weaponry and sophisticated technical surveillance tools to combat organized crime and terrorism. While it is a versatile force, its primary mandate is not routine crowd control during religious festivals. Regular district police and armed constabulary are typically deployed for such mass public management and general order duties.
Q8457. Which statement correctly describes the evolution of the devolution framework in Rajasthan over successive SFCs?
Explanation
The evolution of fiscal devolution in Rajasthan is marked by a significant shift toward more structured financial relations. Earlier ad-hoc grants have been replaced by a system where local bodies receive a predefined percentage share of the state’s divisible tax pool. This formula-based approach provides local governments with greater financial predictability and stability, allowing for more effective long-term planning and better delivery of essential civic services to the residents.
Q8458. Identify the odd one out concerning the constitutional development of British India:
Explanation
The Councils Acts of 1861 and 1892 and the Morley-Minto Reforms were constitutional steps. The Vernacular Press Act was a press law, so it is the odd one out.
