Which of the following statements best describes the Indian Union Cabinet’s role in legislation?

Correct option is C

The correct answer is: (C) The Cabinet gives final shape to government bills and prepares the legislative agenda.

• The Indian Union Cabinet plays a key role in the preparation of the legislative agenda, including the formulation and final approval of government bills before they are introduced in Parliament.

• The Cabinet consists of senior ministers, including the Prime Minister, who collectively decide the government's policy direction and legislative priorities.

• While the Cabinet proposes bills, it is the Parliament (comprising the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha) that actually debates and enacts the laws.

• The Cabinet does not enact laws directly; it prepares the legislative framework and drafts bills, which are then debated and passed by Parliament.

• Role of the Cabinet: The Cabinet plays an essential role in setting the legislative agenda of the government and finalizing bills before they are sent to Parliament for approval.

• Enactment of Laws: The actual process of law-making occurs in Parliament, not within the Cabinet.

• The Cabinet’s influence is significant in shaping the direction of legislation, but it is not the only body involved in the legislative process.
