What is the maximum permissible period for which a proclamation of a National Emergency can continue without parliamentary approval beyond the initial month?

💡 Solution & Explanation

Under Article 352 of the Indian Constitution, a proclamation of National Emergency must be approved by both Houses of Parliament within one month of its issuance to remain active. Alternative periods like fourteen days or six months apply to different parliamentary motions or types of emergencies, but the initial national emergency window is strictly restricted to thirty days.
