Under the Constitution of India which of the following is NOT a Fundamental Duty?

The correct answer is A) To vote in General Election. Fundamental Duties are listed in Article 51A, inserted by the 42nd Amendment (1976) on the basis of the Swaran Singh Committee, and the 86th Amendment (2002) added the eleventh duty. Voting is not among them. It is a democratic right of every adult citizen, grounded in Article 326 (adult suffrage) and the Representation of the People Acts, not a constitutional duty.

Why the others are duties:

• B) Article 51A(h) requires every citizen to develop the scientific temper, humanism and the spirit of inquiry and reform.
• C) Article 51A(i) requires citizens to safeguard public property and abjure violence.
• D) Article 51A(a) requires citizens to abide by the Constitution and respect its ideals and institutions, the National Flag and the National Anthem.

Core concept: the line between rights (Part III) and duties (Article 51A). Duties are moral obligations and are not enforceable by writs, which is a common Mains point on how they supplement rights. Fundamental Duties are also used by courts as an aid in interpreting constitutional provisions.

Trap: Aspirants see "vote" and assume it is a duty because it is a civic responsibility. Remember that the question asks what is not listed in Article 51A, and the list has no voting clause.
