B. Estimates Committee

D. Committee on Public Undertakings
💡 Solution & Explanation
The Business Advisory Committee of the Lok Sabha determines the government legislative timetable and allocates necessary hours for debating bills and motions in the House. The Speaker of the Lok Sabha serves as the ex-officio chairman of this crucial panel, ensuring smooth legislative business. Other financial committees like the Public Accounts Committee are instead chaired by members appointed or elected through proportional representation, often from the opposition. This committee system forms the backbone of parliamentary oversight in Indian democracy.
