The President of India addresses his resignation to the:
-
A.
Prime Minister
-
B.
Vice-President
-
C.
Chief Justice of India
-

Speaker of Lok Sabha
Correct Answer:
B. Vice-President
Explanation:
According to Article 56(1)(a) of the Constitution of India, the President may resign from their office by submitting a written letter addressed to the Vice-President. This formal communication is a key constitutional procedure for the voluntary relinquishment of the Presidency. Upon receiving the resignation, the Vice-President is required under Article 56(2) to promptly inform the Speaker of the Lok Sabha. While other high-ranking officials like the Chief Justice of India or the Prime Minister play significant roles in the government, they are not the designated recipients for the President's resignation.
