Which committee of the Indian Parliament is considered the largest committee, consisting entirely of 30 members from the Lok Sabha?

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

💡 Solution & Explanation

The Estimates Committee is the largest parliamentary committee in India, consisting of 30 members elected exclusively from the Lok Sabha, with no representation from the Rajya Sabha. Unlike the Public Accounts Committee which includes members from both houses, the Estimates Committee examines whether public expenditure conforms to policy economies and administrative efficiency. Its recommendations are advisory in nature and are widely scrutinized during the annual budgetary sessions.
