B) 3 and 4
C) All of these
D) None of these
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
[d] The committees perform many functions, the major one of which is scrutinising the budgetary proposals during the recess of the budget session. Apart from this, the committee also examines the bills of related ministries and considers the annual reports of ministries. Thus, Statement 1 is incorrect. Statement 2 is also incorrect, as the members of the committee may be elected, appointed, nominated by the Speaker of Lok Sabha and Chairman of Rajya Sabha from among their members. Statement 3 is incorrect, as the report of the committee cannot contain any proposal for cut motions on the expenditures concerned. Statement 4 is also incorrect. Out of the 24 committees, 8 functions under the Rajya Sabha and 16 under the Lok Sabha. Thus, the right answer is [d].
