As per Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act of 1956, a guardian is not responsible for which of the following?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Joint family property is outside the ordinary guardianship of the minor’s separate property. Section 6 of the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956 excludes the minor’s undivided interest in joint family property from the property covered by natural guardianship. Section 12 ordinarily prevents appointment of a guardian for that interest when an adult family member manages the property. Section 24 of the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890 includes education among the responsibilities of a guardian of the person.
