does not relate to the central
theme of the passage.

A) The ministry of consumer

Answer:- D

Here all the statement other

than Option D) talks about
the service charge and its
impact. However Option D
does not clearly mentions
about service charge and is
talking about some random
indirect tax to be removed.
Note that the ministry has
already announced that
service charged may or may
not be paid by the customer,
but has not removed it. So
option D is not coherent with
the passage.

political funding, which is
not related to this theme.
