The correct answer is option 2.

Option 1: The emoluments and allowances of the President and the expenditure relating to his/her office are charged on the Consolidated Fund of India. This means that these expenses are paid directly from the Government`s consolidated fund.

Option 2: The salaries and allowances of the Chairman and Deputy Chairman of the Council of States (Rajya Sabha) and the Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the House of the People (Lok Sabha) are also charged on the Consolidated Fund of India. This means that these expenses are also paid directly from the Government`s consolidated fund.

Option 3: Debt charges for which the Government of India is liable are also charged on the Consolidated Fund of India. This means that the Government is responsible for paying off the debts and the required funds are taken from the consolidated fund.

Therefore, options 1, 2, and 3 are all correct and charged on the Consolidated Fund of India.
