Explanation

Under the Indian Constitution, the concentration of wealth violates the Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP). Specifically, Article 39(c) of the DPSP states that the State shall, in particular, direct its policy towards securing 'that the operation of the economic system does not result in the concentration of wealth and means of production to the common detriment'. The DPSPs aim to establish a welfare state and promote social and economic justice, making the prevention of wealth concentration a key objective.
