Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → (B) and (D) only
The main objectives of a government budget are:
-
Economic Stability —The government uses fiscal policy (taxation and expenditure) to control inflation, deflation, and maintain overall stability in the economy.
-
Redistribution of Income and Wealth —Through progressive taxation and welfare expenditure, the government reduces income inequality and ensures social justice.
Other options explained:
-
(A) Opening bank accounts of people → This is a specific policy initiative (like Jan Dhan Yojana), not an objective of the government budget.
-
(C) Increase the employment rate → It can be a means to achieve economic growth, but not a direct objective of the government budget.
