Which of the followings is NOT one of the government accounts of India?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. General Provident Fund.
The General Provident Fund (GPF) is not one of the three government accounts of India. It is a savings scheme for government employees, not a government account used for managing public finances.
The three main government accounts of India are:
-
Consolidated Fund of India – the chief account for all government revenues and expenditures.
-
Contingency Fund of India – used for emergencies or unforeseen expenditures.
-
Public Account of India – holds funds where the government acts as a trustee (e.g., provident funds, small savings).
