Matching Indian Constitutional Amendments and Provisions
This question requires matching the specific Constitutional Amendment Acts with their corresponding provisions. Let's break down each amendment:
101st Amendment: Goods and Services Tax (GST)
The 101st Constitutional Amendment Act, 2016 is a landmark amendment that introduced the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in India. This act amended various articles of the Constitution to facilitate the implementation of a uniform indirect tax regime across the country. Therefore, (A) matches with (IV).
102nd Amendment: National Commission for Backward Classes
The 102nd Constitutional Amendment Act, 2018 conferred constitutional status and power upon the National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC). It inserted Article 338B into the Constitution, granting the commission the authority to examine and recommend policies concerning socially and educationally backward classes. Thus, (B) matches with (III).
103rd Amendment: Economically Weaker Sections Reservation
The 103rd Constitutional Amendment Act, 2019 introduced reservations for the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) of citizens in admissions to educational institutions and government jobs. This was achieved by amending Articles 15 and 16 of the Constitution to provide up to 10% reservation for EWS. Consequently, (C) matches with (II).
104th Amendment: SC/ST Reservation Extension
The 104th Constitutional Amendment Act, 2019 extended the deadline for the reservation of seats for the Scheduled Castes (SCs) and Scheduled Tribes (STs) in the Lok Sabha and State Legislative Assemblies for another ten years. It also extended the provision for nominating members of the Anglo-Indian community to the Lok Sabha and State Legislative Assemblies, although it removed the reservation for the Anglo-Indian community itself from being nominated by the President/Governors. Therefore, (D) matches with (I).
