What to Focus On

  • The Union Executive consists of four main parts: President, Vice-President, Prime Minister, and Council of Ministers.
  • The President is the head of the State and the head of the Executive.
  • The President acts on the advice of the Council of Ministers headed by the Prime Minister.
  • India is a Republic, so the head of the State is elected.
  • The President is the First Citizen of India.
  • The President is the head of the State but not of the Executive.
  • Must be a citizen of India.
  • Must have completed 35 years of age.
  • Must be qualified for election as a member of the Lok Sabha but must not be a member.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

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

The President can make decisions independently in normal situations and may ignore the Council of Ministers whenever needed.

A Money Bill can be returned by the President for reconsideration like any ordinary Bill.
