Nature of Advice by Ministers

Ministers in the Central Council are required to provide advice to the President and assist the Prime Minister in decision-making. As explained in Polity by Laxmikant, this advice is given collectively and is binding on the President once it is tendered.

The advice is usually prepared after extensive consultations within the Cabinet, ensuring that it reflects a consensus. Its confidential nature underpins the integrity of the executive decision-making process.
