With reference to the Parliament of India, which of the following Parliamentary Committees scrutinizes and reports to the House whether the powers to make regulations, rules, sub-rules, by-laws, etc. conferred by the Constitution or delegated by the Parliament are being properly exercised by the Executive within the scope of such delegation?
Explanation
The Committee on Subordinate Legislation (CSL) is specifically tasked with scrutinizing and reporting on the exercise of delegated powers by the executive branch. They ensure the government is acting within the legal boundaries set by Parliament when creating rules, regulations, etc.
Committee on Government Assurances (A) focuses on tracking the implementation of assurances, and promises made by the government in Parliament.
Rules Committee (C) deals with framing rules for the smooth functioning of the Houses of Parliament (Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha).
Business Advisory Committee (D) allocates time for different kinds of legislative and other business of the House.
Therefore, only the Committee on Subordinate Legislation directly addresses the scrutiny of delegated powers.
