Show Solution

The Correct Option is B

Approach Solution - 1

This question is about a specific family-welfare tax policy announced in 2019. Checking each country:

  1. India: Did not introduce this particular lifetime tax exemption tied to number of children.
  2. Hungary: Announced this exact policy in 2019, exempting women with four or more children from personal income tax for life.
  3. Norway: Offers other family benefits, but not this specific exemption.
  4. Finland: Also not the source of this particular policy announcement.

Hungary is the country that matches the policy described in the question.

The correct answer is Hungary.

Approach Solution -2

Comparing the exact nature of each country's family-support benefit, rather than just its existence, separates a lifetime tax exemption from other forms of assistance.

  1. India: Its family welfare measures come through subsidies and social schemes, not through a lifetime personal income tax exemption linked to number of children.
  2. Norway: Its benefits take the form of paid parental leave and childcare support, a different kind of assistance from a lifetime tax exemption.
  3. Finland: Its support system similarly centres on parental leave and allowances rather than exempting parents from income tax for life.
  4. Hungary: Its 2019 policy specifically took the form of a lifetime personal income tax exemption for women with four or more children, matching exactly the benefit type described in the question.

Only Hungary's policy matches the precise benefit type, a lifetime tax exemption, named in the question.

Therefore, the correct answer is Hungary.
