This question is about the special category States for which the GST Council can make recommendations under Article 279A. Let's work through the options.

  1. Six: This understates the actual list of special category States recognised for GST Council recommendations.
  2. Eight: This also understates the number, it does not match the full list used for this purpose.
  3. Eleven: Article 279A(4)(f) empowers the GST Council to make recommendations on special provisions with respect to Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Jammu and Kashmir, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, Tripura, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Counting this list gives exactly eleven States, matching this option.
  4. Thirteen: This overstates the number, thirteen does not correspond to the list actually used under Article 279A(4)(f).

Counting the States named under the special provision clause of Article 279A confirms the figure of eleven.

The correct answer is Eleven.
