Parliamentary Committees are essential bodies established to examine legislative, financial, and administrative matters in detail. Their creation is empowered by Article 118, which grants each House the authority to frame its own rules, including the formation of various committees.
Committees are classified into types such as departmental standing committees, financial committees, and ad hoc committees that scrutinize bills and monitor day-to-day business. These committees provide a platform for focused debate and in-depth analysis, thereby enhancing the quality of legislation and accountability of the executive.
