Consider the following statements regarding the financial committees of Parliament: 1. The Estimates Committee consists of thirty members elected solely from the Lok Sabha, with no representation from the Rajya Sabha. 2. The Committee on Public Accounts examines the audit reports submitted by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India. 3. The Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee is invariably appointed by the Prime Minister from the ruling parliamentary majority. Which of the statements given above are correct?
A. 1 and 2 only✓ Correct Answer
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3
💡 Solution & Explanation
Statements 1 and 2 are correct because the Estimates Committee has thirty Lok Sabha members and no Rajya Sabha members, and the Public Accounts Committee scrutinizes CAG audit reports. Statement 3 is incorrect because the Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee is traditionally appointed by the Speaker of the Lok Sabha from among the opposition members, not the Prime Minister. Parliamentary committees assist in detailed legislative oversight.
