Why is Parliament’s budget control power important in democracy?

Correct answer: Because the government spends public money with representatives’ approval

Correct answer: A. The budget is a statement of the government’s expected income and expenditure. Much of this money comes from the public through taxes and other receipts. In a democracy, the elected Parliament examines and approves government spending instead of allowing the executive to use public money without control. Members can discuss priorities, question ministers, and demand explanations for expenditure. This makes financial administration accountable to citizens through their representatives. Option A is correct because spending requires legislative approval. Option B is wrong because the government budget is a public document, not a private company document. Option C is wrong because the budget does not dissolve the Rajya Sabha. Option D is wrong because a court does not secretly pass the budget. Memory cue: public money needs public representatives’ approval.
