Correct Answer:

Only 1

Explanation:

Payment of taxes is compulsory in India as special laws have been made for people who evades taxes. It is individual's sole responsibility to pay taxes before the due date else the individual is financially penalised. The revenue which is generated with the help of taxes is not always used proportionately i.e. no proportionate relation between tax and social benefits. Although, the tax collected is used for public welfare only.
