Which of the following is not a prohibited ground of discrimination in Article 15(1) of the Constitution of India?

Correct option is B

Under Article 15(1) of the Constitution of India, the State is prohibited from discriminating against any citizen on grounds only of religion, race, caste, sex, place of birth, or any of them. However, place of residence is not included in the list of prohibited grounds for discrimination under Article 15(1). The distinction between place of residence and place of birth is significant, as the Constitution does not explicitly restrict discrimination based on residence, which may be subject to reasonable restrictions by the State for administrative purposes. Hence, the correct answer is (b) Place of residence.​
