A Correct answer
Explanation

Under Article 202(3)(d) of the Indian Constitution, the salaries and allowances of High Court judges are charged on the Consolidated Fund of the State (not the Consolidated Fund of India). This means these expenditures are not subject to annual voting by the state legislature and are mandatorily payable.
