The correct answer is Option B (Only b).

Key Points:
• Public Finance deals with the income, expenditure, and borrowing policies of the government.
• The traditional scope of public finance comprises:
• Public Revenue (a): Taxation, non-tax receipts, and public receipts.
• Public Expenditure: Allocation and disbursement across administrative and developmental heads.
• Public Debt (c): Internal and external borrowing, deficit financing, and debt management.
• Financial Administration (d): Preparation, enactment, auditing, and execution of government budgets.
• Monetary Management (b) involves managing the money supply, interest rates, bank credit, and currency issuance, which falls under the purview of Monetary Policy operated by the Central Bank (Reserve Bank of India), not the fiscal scope of public finance.
• Hence, 'Only b' is outside the scope of public finance.
• Key Takeaway: Public finance includes public revenue, debt, expenditure, and administration, whereas monetary management falls under central banking policy.
