Solution

The correct option is D Neither 1 nor 2
Explanation:

Statement 1 is incorrect.: Only when expenses are made from the Consolidated Fund of India (CFI), it has to be made through the Parliamentary appropriation route. An appropriation bill is passed in the Parliament which authorises for expenses to be done from CFI. When expenses are made from the Public Account of India Fund and Contingency Fund of India, Parliamentary appropriation is not needed since they are at the disposal of the Executive.

Statement 2 is incorrect: Cut motion can be admitted only for non-charged expenditure from the Consolidated Fund of India. Parliament can pass any of three motions: cut motion, economy motion and token motion on any demand of grants voting.
