The largest committee of Parliament of India is:

• A. Public Accounts Committee
• B. Estimates Committee
• C. Committee on Public Undertakings
• D. Joint Parliamentary Committee

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understand the question.
We need the largest financial committee of the Indian Parliament by number of members.

Step 2: List the committee sizes.
The Public Accounts Committee has 22 members. The Committee on Public Undertakings also has 22 members. The Estimates Committee has 30 members.

Step 3: Compare the numbers.
30 is bigger than 22, so the Estimates Committee is the largest of these.

Step 4: Note a key fact.
The Estimates Committee is made up only of Lok Sabha members. It has no Rajya Sabha members, which makes it special.

Step 5: Conclude.
The largest committee of Parliament is the Estimates Committee.

Answer: Estimates Committee
