- ENone of the above
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (d) All of the above
Explanation
Home Charges, i.e., the expenditure of the Government of India in Britain, included the pensions of British officials serving in India, military and other stores purchased in England and supplied to India, and the guaranteed interest paid to railway investors. Here, due to an error in the option, it is written “military and other stores purchased in India,” whereas “purchased in England and supplied to India” is more accurate, as mentioned by historians like Bipan Chandra as well.
