Which of the statements given above is/are incorrect?

Currency exchange transactions done by the authorized currency dealers are subjected to GST. Tobin tax was suggested to avoid speculation and volatility in the currency exchange market. It does not deal with the volatility in the stock market. ● Statement 2 is correct: Scarcity of Dollar in Indian market in relation to its demands leads to appreciation in the price of dollar and depreciation in the Indian rupee with respect to dollars.
