Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Fundamental Duties were added to Part IV-A of the Constitution by the 42nd Amendment Act, 1976, upon the recommendations of the Swaran Singh Committee.

Although the Swaran Singh Committee did suggest adding a duty to pay taxes, it was not accepted or incorporated into the final amendment.
