The salary and allowances of the President of India are determined by:
-
A.
Parliament
-
B.
Finance Commission
-
C.
Supreme Court
-
D.
Election Commission
Correct Answer:
A. Parliament
Explanation:
According to the Constitution of India, the Parliament is responsible for determining the salaries and allowances of the President. These emoluments are governed by the President's Emoluments and Pension Act, 1951, which is periodically amended by Parliament to revise the pay structure. For instance, the Finance Act of 2018 significantly increased the President's monthly salary to 5 lakh rupees. These payments are charged to the Consolidated Fund of India and cannot be diminished during the President's term in office. While other bodies like the Finance Commission or Election Commission have specific constitutional roles, they do not have the authority to set the President's compensation.
