  4. D
    The audit reports of the Comptroller and Auditor General relating to the accounts of a State are submitted directly to the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly.

Cevap

The correct statements are that the Comptroller and Auditor General of India is ineligible for further government office post-retirement, and that the recommendations of the Finance Commission are advisory in nature.
The post-retirement bar on the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (Article 148) and the advisory character of Finance Commission recommendations (Article 280) accurately state Indian constitutional provisions.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Evaluate the post-retirement eligibility of the CAG under Article 148.
Article 148(4) guarantees independence by prohibiting the CAG from taking up any further government office after demitting office.
Ensures no executive inducement influences the CAG during tenure.
2
Evaluate the constitutional weight of Finance Commission recommendations under Article 280.
The recommendations are constitutionally advisory to the President/Government of India.
There is no constitutional obligation mandating statutory enforcement of tax distribution advice.
3
Verify the removal authority for SPSC members under Article 317.
Although appointed by the Governor, SPSC members can only be removed by the President.
This dual mechanism provides independence from local political executive influence.
4
Examine the reporting chain of CAG state audit reports under Article 151(2).
The CAG submits reports to the Governor, not directly to the Speaker.
The constitutional channel requires executive submission to the head of state prior to legislative tabling.
