Options for question 4

Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. The Cabinet approved the Ministry of Labour and Employment's proposal to raise the ceiling from ₹15,000 to ₹25,000 a month.

  2. The ceiling had last been revised in September 2014, when it was raised to ₹15,000.

  3. More than 51 lakh additional employees are expected to come under mandatory coverage.

Worth noting

₹15,000 was the old ceiling, not the new one. A question on a revision nearly always puts the old figure among the options.
