Consider the following statements regarding the Financial Committees of Parliament: 1. The Estimates Committee is the largest parliamentary committee with thirty members. 2. Ministers are not eligible for election as members of the Public Accounts Committee and Estimates Committee. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

💡 Solution & Explanation

The Estimates Committee consists of thirty members, all elected from the Lok Sabha, making it the largest parliamentary committee in the Indian Parliament. A minister is not eligible for election to the Estimates Committee, Public Accounts Committee, and Committee on Public Undertakings because these committees scrutinize executive actions and expenditure. The Public Accounts Committee examines the audit report of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India submitted under Article 151.
