🎯Question 16: Explain the structure of the Parliamentary Committee system. How far
have the financial committees helped in the institutionalisation of Indian Parliament? (15) (250 Words)
----------------------------
🎯Answer Structure:
👉Introduction :
The Indian constitution mentions the committees in many places but provides no specific provisions about their composition, tenure, or functions.

🎯Body of the Answer
Parliamentary committees are broadly two types -

👉Standing committees
1. Financial committee:
a. Public Accounts Committee:  It consists of 22 members ( 15 from Lok Sabha and 7 from Rajya Sabha )
b. Estimates Committee:  All the 30 members are from Lok Sabha only.
c. Committee on Public Undertakings It consists of 22 members ( 15 from Lok Sabha 7 from Rajya Sabha)
2. Departmental Standing Committees: There are a total of 24 Departmental Standing Committees:- 8 under Rajya Sabha and 16 under Lok Sabha.
3. Committees to inquire includes committee on Petitions, Committee on privilege and Ethics committee.
4. Committee to scrutinise and control includes 6 types of committees like committee on women empowerment and SC/ST empowerment.
5. Committee on Day-to-day business includes Business advisory committee , Rules committee etc.

👉Ad hoc committees: These committees can be divided into two categories; they are temporary in nature.
1. Inquiry committees
2. Advisory committees

Institutionalisation by Financial Committee:
👉Establishing Financial accountability: Ex PAC Highlighted corrupt practices were followed in awarding several contracts in commonwealth games.
👉Increasing financial efficiency: Ex: Estimate committee noted High extraction cost involved in mining makes it unviable as compared to imported uranium.
👉Checking delay in Projects: Committee on Public Undertaking recommended that no project should be initiated unless 80% of land is already acquired by NHAI, and the required environmental and forest clearances are obtained.
👉Bringing Opposition in discussion through the representation in PAC and Estimate committee.

Challenges:
👉It examines the expenditure which has already been done by the Government.
👉The committees have no power to limit the expenses.
👉The recommendations are advisory in nature and are not binding on the Government.
👉They do not have mandate to examine the policy in the broader sense.
👉Usually, the PAC members are generalists, and CAG’s reports require independent expert evaluation in the simplest of terms.

🎯Conclusion :
NCRWC has recommended that major reports of all Committees should be discussed in Parliament especially in cases where there is disagreement between a committee and the government. The recommendations of the PACs should be accorded greater weight and they should be treated as the “conscience-keepers of the nation in financial matters.”
