In which situation can the President ask the Prime Minister to prove majority?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When there is doubt about government's support in Lok Sabha

Answer: A. In India’s parliamentary system, the Prime Minister and the Council of Ministers must enjoy the confidence of the Lok Sabha. If the President has reasonable grounds to doubt whether the government still has majority support—for example, after a coalition partner withdraws support—the Prime Minister may be asked to prove the majority on the floor of the Lok Sabha. This vote is called a floor test. The result is decided by the elected members voting in the House, not by the President alone. Option B is unrelated because Rajya Sabha is a permanent House. Option C concerns the Budget, not majority support. Option D concerns court proceedings and has no connection with parliamentary confidence. Memory cue: government survives only while it has the Lok Sabha’s confidence.
