What is the budgetary outlay of the Container Manufacturing Promotion Scheme approved by the Union Cabinet?
- A.8,891 crore rupees
- B.10,000 crore rupees
- C.7,395 crore rupees
- D.12,500 crore rupees
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 10,000 crore rupees, the full outlay sanctioned for the scheme and available up to the financial year 2039-40. Option A is the amount earmarked for only one of the three components, the Operational Expenditure Assistance, which pays support on each container built to global standards and sold; it is the largest head but not the whole. Adding to it the interest subvention head and the testing and certification head takes the total to the round figure in option B. Option C is the outlay of a different Cabinet decision taken on the same day, for a rural governance scheme, and is placed here because candidates revising a day's Cabinet decisions together often swap the numbers. Option D does not appear in the decision at all. The safest way to revise is to learn the three component amounts and check that they sum to the headline figure.
