Which one of the following (Tax-term and Connotation) is wrongly matched?
AVishti – Forced labour
BBhaga – Local tax ✓ Correct
CKara – Tax
DPranaya – Emergency tax
Correct answer: (B) Bhaga – Local tax — The pair Bhaga and Local tax is wrongly matched, so the answer is Bhaga and Local tax.
Explanation
★The pair Bhaga and Local tax is wrongly matched, so the answer is Bhaga and Local tax.
★The term Bhaga meant the king's share of the produce, the land tax.
★It was not a local tax.
★So this pairing is wrong.
★Vishti rightly meant forced labour and Kara meant a tax.
★Pranaya rightly meant an emergency tax.
