If NDP at factor cost is ₹6,000 crore and net indirect taxes are ₹450 crore, what will be NDP at market price?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: ₹6,450 crore
The governing relationship is NDP at market price = NDP at factor cost + net indirect taxes. Net indirect taxes represent the excess of indirect taxes over subsidies, so they are added when moving from factor cost to market price. Calculation: ₹6,000 crore + ₹450 crore = ₹6,450 crore. Hence option C is correct; option B merely repeats the factor-cost value, while A subtracts the tax and D adds it incorrectly.
