खालीलपैकी कोणता खर्च भारताच्या संचित निधीवर भारित केला जात नाही ?

The correct answer is Option B (Salaries and allowances of the judges of High Courts).

Key Points:
• Constitutional Provisions on Charged Expenditure (Article 112(3)):
• Charged expenditures on the Consolidated Fund of India are non-votable by Parliament.
• Under Article 112(3), these include:
• Salaries, allowances, and pensions of Judges of the Supreme Court.
• Salaries and allowances of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India.
• Administrative expenses of the Supreme Court.
• PENSIONS of the Judges of High Courts (Article 112(3)(d)(iii)).
• Crucially, the SALARIES AND ALLOWANCES of High Court judges are charged upon the Consolidated Fund of the respective STATE (Article 202(3)(d)), not India.
• Hence, option (2) is not charged on the Consolidated Fund of India.
• Key Takeaway: High Court judges' salaries and allowances are charged on the State Consolidated Fund, whereas only their pensions are charged on the Consolidated Fund of India.
