Financial Emergency in India is proclaimed under which Article of the Constitution?

A. Article 352
B. Article 356
C. Article 360✓ Correct Answer
D. Article 365

💡 Solution & Explanation

Article 360 of the Indian Constitution grants the President the authority to proclaim a Financial Emergency if the financial stability or credit of India is threatened. While national and state emergencies are covered under Articles 352 and 356 respectively, a financial emergency has never been invoked in independent India. Constitutional emergency provisions are a standard focus area for polity assessments.
