What to Focus On

  • Executive means the body that implements laws and policies.
  • Political executive includes elected leaders and ministers.
  • Permanent executive includes civil servants.

  • Presidential system: President is both head of state and head of government.
  • Parliamentary system: Prime Minister is head of government and head of state is mostly ceremonial.
  • Semi-presidential system: both President and Prime Minister matter in government.

  • India follows a parliamentary system at the Union and State levels.
  • President is the formal head of the Union.
  • Real executive power is exercised by the Council of Ministers headed by the Prime Minister.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A country with a President always has a presidential system, and a country with a Prime Minister always has a parliamentary system.

The President of India is the real executive and independently runs the government.

The President can freely ignore the Council of Ministers whenever he or she disagrees.

Memory Tips

India has a parliamentary system of executive

President of India is elected indirectly for five years

President's election uses proportional representation with single transferable vote

President acts on advice of the Council of Ministers under Article 74(1)
