Which of the following parliamentary committees has the largest membership in the Indian Parliament?

A. Public Accounts Committee
B. Estimates Committee✓ Correct Answer
C. Committee on Public Undertakings
D. Privileges Committee

💡 Solution & Explanation

The Estimates Committee has thirty members, all of whom are exclusively elected from the Lok Sabha, making it the largest parliamentary committee in the Indian legislative system. Other committees like the Public Accounts Committee and the Committee on Public Undertakings have only twenty-two members drawn from both houses. Incorrect choices such as the Privileges Committee have significantly fewer members and different administrative mandates. This committee examines whether economies and administrative reforms are being efficiently implemented within public expenditure.
