Salaries and allowances of Supreme Court Judges are charged on which fund?

  1. Consolidated Fund of India
  2. Contingency Fund of India
  3. Public Account of India
  4. State Consolidated Fund

Answer: Consolidated Fund of India

Article 125: SC Judges' salaries, allowances, pensions charged on Consolidated Fund of India (not subject to annual parliamentary vote). Similarly, HC Judges' expenses charged on State Consolidated Fund (Article 221). This financial insulation protects judicial independence from executive/legislative pressure.
