What is the maximum duration for which an Ordinance promulgated by the President under Article 123 can remain in force without approval from Parliament?

💡 Solution & Explanation

Article 123 of the Indian Constitution grants the President ordinance-making powers during parliamentary recess, which must be approved by Parliament within six weeks of its reassembly or they cease to operate. Other choices incorrectly suggest fixed maximum terms without linking them to parliamentary sessions. The maximum possible lifespan of an ordinance, if Parliament does not meet, can extend up to six months and six weeks.
