The CBDT Chairman has a specifically defined rank in the Government of India hierarchy. Which rank does the lesson assign to the CBDT Chairman, and what rank do the CBDT Members hold?
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D.
1. The CBDT is the apex direct tax administration body.
2. The lesson assigns the Chairman the rank of Special Secretary to the Government of India.
3. The six Members hold the rank of Additional Secretary to the Government of India.
4. The Chairman and Members are selected from the Indian Revenue Service.
5. So the Special-Secretary plus Additional-Secretary pairing is the right answer.
