The recommendations of Sarkaria Commission relate to which of the following?

1. A

   Distribution of revenue

   Distribution of revenue is mainly the Finance Commission’s field under Article 280, not the core brief of Sarkaria. This option is not the key.

2. B

   Power and functions of the President

   Powers and functions of the President were not the Sarkaria Commission’s assigned subject. This option is therefore wrong.

3. C

   Membership of Parliament

   Membership of Parliament is a constitutional and Representation of the People Act matter, not Sarkaria’s report. This option is not the key.

4. D

   Centre-State relations

   The Sarkaria Commission (1983–88), chaired by Justice R.S. Sarkaria, examined Centre–State relations and made wide recommendations on federal practice. That is the official pairing. This option is the official key.

Summary. Official key is (d) Centre-State relations. Indira Gandhi’s government set up Sarkaria to review the working of the Union–State system. Revenue sharing is Finance Commission work; the President and Parliament membership are other chapters. Later Punchhi continued the federal brief. Only (d) is Sarkaria’s subject.
