Although the terms are often used interchangeably, the Cabinet is a subset of the Central Council of Ministers. As explained in Polity by Laxmikant, the Cabinet consists of senior ministers who meet frequently to deliberate on key policy issues, while the broader Council includes all ministers and is collectively responsible to the Parliament.
This distinction is vital for understanding the nuances of executive decision-making and the delegation of responsibilities within the government.
