keywords: 

{'national calendar': [0, 0, 2, 1], 'gregorian calendar': [0, 0, 2, 1], 'dates': [2, 0, 4, 1], 'saka era': [1, 0, 2, 0], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'chaitra': [0, 0, 3, 1], 'permanent correspondence': [0, 0, 1, 0]}

The national calendar of India is based on the Saka era, with Chaitra as its first month. This means that the national calendar starts from the month of Chaitra according to the Saka era. Therefore, the first statement, "I. The national calendar is based on the Saka era with Chaitra as its first month," is correct.

The second statement, "II. Dates of the national calendar have a permanent correspondence with dates of the Gregorian calendar," is also correct. The dates of the national calendar of India align with the dates of the Gregorian calendar. This allows for easy conversion and correspondence between the two calendars.

Therefore, both statements are correct. Option-3, "Both I and II," is the correct answer.
