Parliamentary Committees

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Subsets of MPs formed to study specific matters in detail. Standing Committees (e.g., Public Accounts Committee, Estimates Committee) are permanent, scrutinizing departmental budgets and policies. Ad hoc committees address temporary issues like bills or inquiries. These committees alleviate the main House’s workload, enabling expert discussions, collecting evidence, and framing recommendations. Their reports guide legislative amendments and executive accountability. Departmentally Related Standing Committees streamline oversight on ministries, fostering consistent review. Parliamentary committees facilitate bipartisan collaboration, critical for effective checks and balances. Students should note how committee findings often shape policy reforms and highlight transparency in public administration.
