Question

Which of these revenues are examples of revenue from administrative services?

Options

• Income from tourism 

Answer 1

Fines and penalties, Receipt from license fees

Explanation:

The government’s earnings from carrying out administrative duties are included in the revenue from administrative services. Examples are 

1. Fines and penalties (for breaking rules/laws)
2. License fees (for giving permissions like driving licenses, broadcasting licenses, etc.)
3. On the other hand, receipts from commercial services (like Doordarshan) and income from tourism are considered commercial revenue or economic services, not administrative services.
