UPSC IAS – 2021
Option B is the correct answer. Under the Indian Constitution, the directive principle related to the concentration of wealth is found in the Directive Principles of State Policy (Part IV).
Article 39(c) of the Constitution states that the State shall direct its policy towards securing “that the operation of the economic system does not result in the concentration of wealth and means of production to the common detriment”. This is a non-justiciable directive principle guiding the state.
