Q1With reference to the Fifteenth Finance Commission's recommendation for 2021-26, consider the following statements: 1. The recommended vertical devolution was 41% of the divisible pool. 2. Collection costs, cesses and surcharges remain outside the base used for this devolution. 3. The 41% share includes Finance Commission grants as part of the same percentage. Which of the statements given above are correct? Select the correct answer using the code given below.

A 1 and 2 only
B 2 only
C 1 and 3 only
D 1, 2 and 3
Explanation

Statements 1 and 2 are correct. The 41% recommendation applies to the divisible pool, whose base excludes collection costs, cesses and surcharges. Statement 3 is incorrect because grants are a separate component; they are not folded into the 41% tax-devolution share.
