Why is urea excluded from the Nutrient-Based Subsidy (NBS) scheme? Discuss its implications and suggest reforms.
The Nutrient-Based Subsidy (NBS) scheme, introduced in 2010, provides subsidies based on the nutrient content (N, P, K and S) of phosphatic and potassic (P&K) fertilizers. However, urea, India’s primary nitrogenous fertilizer, remains outside the NBS and continues under a statutory price control regime, where the government fixes its Maximum Retail Price (MRP) and compensates manufacturers for the difference between the MRP and the actual cost.
Why is urea excluded from NBS?
Food Security: Urea is indispensable for rice and wheat cultivation; price control ensures uninterrupted supply.
Farmer Affordability: Low administered prices protect small and marginal farmers from input cost shocks.
Inflation Management: Affordable urea helps contain agricultural production costs and food inflation.
Political Economy: Any sharp increase in urea prices has significant political and social implications.
Supply Assurance: Government control facilitates stable production, imports and nationwide distribution.
Implications of Exclusion
Economic
Distorted fertilizer prices and excessive dependence on urea.
Large and rising fertilizer subsidy burden on the exchequer.
Agricultural
Imbalanced nutrient application, leading to a skewed N:P:K ratio instead of the recommended 4:2:1.
Declining soil fertility, micronutrient deficiencies and lower factor productivity.
Environmental
Nitrate contamination of groundwater.
Soil acidification.
Increased nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions, a potent greenhouse gas.
Administrative
Diversion to non-agricultural uses, black marketing and leakages despite DBT.
Way Forward
Gradually integrate urea into a modified NBS framework with phased price rationalisation.
Shift towards farmer-centric Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) instead of product-based subsidies.
Promote Soil Health Cards, precision farming, nano urea, neem-coated urea and customized fertilizers.
Encourage balanced nutrient use through awareness campaigns and stronger extension services.
Expand organic and bio-fertilizers while improving domestic fertilizer production.
Conclusion
Keeping urea outside the NBS has supported food security and farmer welfare, but it has also created nutrient imbalance, environmental degradation and fiscal stress. A calibrated transition to a nutrient-neutral, farmer-centric subsidy regime can improve agricultural productivity, sustainability and fiscal efficiency while safeguarding farmers’ interests.

| 3 | Current measures of gender inequality mainly focus on women’s participation in the labour market, wages, and employment. However, they largely ignore wealth ownership, which is a major source of economic power and security.
The author argues that policies should focus on gender wealth inequality, because ownership of productive assets has a greater impact on women’s long-term empowerment than employment alone.
⸻
Why Wealth Ownership Matters
1. Improves family welfare
Research shows that when women own assets like land or a house:
Children’s education improves.
Nutrition improves.
Health outcomes improve.
Household spending becomes more welfare-oriented.
⸻
2. Protects women from poverty
Women owning property:
have greater bargaining power,
face lower domestic violence,
are less vulnerable after divorce or widowhood,
escape intergenerational poverty.
⸻
3. Raises agricultural productivity
If women farmers own:
land,
irrigation,
farm equipment,
livestock,
they invest more efficiently, increasing:
farm productivity,
food security,
national agricultural growth.
⸻
4. Important in India’s labour market
PLFS 2023–24 shows:
86% of women workers are informally employed.
91% of rural women workers are informal.
Around 73% of rural women are self-employed, mainly in family farming and small enterprises.
Since many women are unpaid family workers or self-employed, income alone does not reflect their economic status. Ownership of productive assets becomes more important.
⸻
Problems with Existing Reports
The article criticizes reports like:
World Inequality Report (WIR)
UN Gender Reports
because they:
measure only labour income,
ignore ownership of land and assets,
undervalue unpaid family work,
underestimate women’s contribution to the economy.
⸻
Major Causes of Gender Wealth Inequality
Unequal inheritance
Limited land ownership
Wage discrimination
Career breaks due to childcare
Informal employment
Lack of property rights
Social norms favouring men
⸻
Policy Recommendations
The author suggests:
Equal inheritance rights
Joint land and house titles
Better asset ownership data
Credit access for women
Childcare support
Recognition of unpaid work
Financial inclusion
Skill development
Legal enforcement of women’s property rights | 2 986 |
| 4 | Notes … | 2 437 |
| 5 | Labour force participation alone cannot capture the true extent of women’s economic empowerment. In this context, discuss the significance of gender wealth inequality and suggest policy measures to address it in India. (15 Marks, 250 Words)
Introduction (30–40 words)
Define gender wealth inequality.
Mention that ownership of land, housing, financial assets, businesses, and inheritance determines long-term economic security and bargaining power.
Body
Why wealth matters
Economic security
Bargaining power within households

| 12 | Discuss the significance of the informal sector in India’s urban economy. What are the major challenges faced by informal workers? Suggest measures for their formalisation. (15 Marks, 250 Words)
Introduction
The Annual Survey of Unincorporated Sector Enterprises (ASUSE) 2025 by MoSPI highlights the growing importance of India’s urban informal economy. The survey estimates that 1.98 crore informal workers are employed across 46 million-plus cities, accounting for nearly 15.5% of India’s 12.81 crore informal workforce, underscoring its critical role in urban employment and livelihoods.
Significance of the Informal Sector in Urban Economy
Major source of employment: Provides jobs to 1.98 crore workers in 46 major cities, especially for migrants and low-skilled workers.
Supports urban livelihoods: Nearly 39 lakh unincorporated enterprises operate in these cities, accounting for about 39% of all such enterprises in India.
Economic contribution: Contributes significantly to Gross Value Added (GVA) through trade, manufacturing, transport, and services.
Women’s employment: Around 52 lakh women (26%) are employed, with cities like Greater Visakhapatnam (42.5%) and Surat (41.4%) showing high female participation.
Urban growth: Cities such as Greater Hyderabad (15.7 lakh workers) and Kolkata (8.84 lakh enterprises) demonstrate the sector’s importance in supporting rapid urbanisation.
Challenges Faced by Informal Workers
Lack of job security and written contracts.
Absence of social security (pension, insurance, paid leave).
Low wages and productivity, with average annual earnings of only ₹1.54 lakh.
Limited access to institutional credit and formal finance.
Poor working conditions and weak legal protection.
Low digital and financial inclusion.
Measures for Formalisation
Simplify Udyam Registration and reduce compliance costs.
Expand e-Shram, health insurance, and pension coverage.
Improve access to affordable credit through MUDRA and digital lending.
Promote digital payments, GST onboarding, and financial literacy.
Strengthen skill development under Skill India and PM Vishwakarma.
Encourage MSME integration into formal supply chains through incentives.
Conclusion
The informal sector remains the backbone of India’s urban economy, generating employment and entrepreneurship. However, sustainable and inclusive urban growth requires gradual formalisation through social security, digitalisation, skill development, and ease of doing business, enabling workers to transition into a more productive and protected workforce. | 7 481 |
| 13 | Chit Fund:
• Imagine a group of friends pooling money every month. One friend takes the money this month, another takes it next month, and so on. This is a chit fund—a way to save and borrow money within a group.
Nidhi Company:
• Think of a club where only members can join, save money, and borrow loans at low interest. It’s like a financial help group, but it operates under strict government rules.
Chit Fund:
1. Formation: A group of people forms a chit fund and decides on a monthly contribution (e.g., ₹1,000 per person).
2. Collection: Every month, the group collects the total amount (e.g., ₹10,000 for 10 members).
3. Allocation: One person gets the money either by lottery or by bidding (whoever offers the biggest discount wins).
4. Repeat: This process continues until everyone gets the money once.
Nidhi Company:
1. Membership: Only members of the Nidhi company can save and borrow money.
2. Savings: Members deposit their savings into the company (like a fixed deposit or recurring deposit).
3. Loans: Members can borrow loans at lower interest rates compared to banks.
4. Strict Rules: The company cannot lend to non-members or do other financial activities like chit funds or insurance.
Simply
1. Chit Funds are like informal group saving and borrowing mechanisms but come with higher risks.
2. Nidhi Companies are safer and operate under government rules, offering long-term financial support to members.
3. For short-term needs, chit funds can be helpful. For long-term security, Nidhi companies are better. | 5 570 |

| 17 | What is an Inverted Duty Structure?
An Inverted Duty Structure exists when:
GST on inputs (raw materials) > GST on output (finished product)
This means the business pays more GST while purchasing inputs than it collects while selling the final product.
What is Input Tax Credit (ITC)?
ITC is the credit a business gets for the GST it has already paid on its purchases (inputs). This credit can be used to pay GST on its sales (outputs).
Correlation between IDS and ITC
Under an inverted duty structure:
A business accumulates more ITC because it pays higher GST on inputs.
But since the output GST is lower, it cannot fully utilize all the accumulated ITC.
As a result, unused ITC accumulates (called blocked or accumulated ITC).
To avoid burdening businesses, the GST law allows a refund of the unutilized ITC in many cases under an inverted duty structure (subject to conditions and notified exceptions). | 8 271 |

| 20 | Tax Deduction
Meaning
A Tax Deduction is an amount that is subtracted from your total income before calculating tax.
Simple Definition
Tax Deduction reduces the income on which tax is calculated.
Example
Rahul earns ₹10 lakh per year.
He invests ₹1.5 lakh in eligible instruments (e.g., under Section 80C in the old regime).
Gross Income = ₹10,00,000
Less: Deduction = ₹1,50,000
Taxable Income = ₹8,50,000
Now tax is calculated on ₹8.5 lakh, not ₹10 lakh.
Tax Rebate
Meaning
A Tax Rebate is a reduction in the actual tax payable after the tax has been calculated.
Simple Definition
Tax Rebate reduces the final tax bill, not the income.
⸻
Example
Suppose Rahul’s tax liability comes to ₹25,000.
He is eligible for a rebate of ₹25,000.
Then:
Tax Liability = ₹25,000
Less: Rebate = ₹25,000
Final Tax Payable = ₹0 | 7 051 |
