oopsie,
@AureliusM Shankar first mock QP had lot of such over generalized statement
remembered another thing. A member doesnt have to actually resign from the party, even his conduct can be used to deduce that for all practical purpose he has ceased to be a member. so not attending meetings and acting like Shatrughan Sinha may also constitute defection, i think» show previous quotesyes thats what i have read. Though it has been a suggestion that ADL be restricted to important matters where the future of govt itself is at stake like NCM
Yeah I read that once. This could be seen as defection.
@D503 the removal is by the order of the President on the basis of a resolution to that effect passed by both the houses of the Parliament. Article 74 then explicitly binds the President to act in accordance to such advice given by the CoM. Therefore I interpret it as: the Government can remove the CEC.
@necromancer I just thought here...can President return the removal proceedings for reconsideration? Basically use his suspensive veto?
@jassikamboj16303 not completely sure but I think veto powers exist in respect of Bills only, so no.
jassikamboj16303,Except through FAR route, FPI limit is 6% on Gsecs and 2% on SDL
Don't know about corporate bonds. The market seems at a nascent stage for this kind of regulation to exist?
The limits for FPI investment in Corporate bonds shall remain unchanged at 15% of outstanding stock of securities for FY 2021-22 - RBI website.
Edit : I am not sure though why we limit it to 15% (considering your reason) and whether is for individual FPI or as a whole.

Thank you. Noted.
sstarrr,@necromancer "Provided that the Chief Election Commissioner shall not be removed from his office except in like manner and on the like grounds as a Judge of the Supreme Court"
Remember in case of judges of SC the power lie in the hands of Parliament that is Legislature not the political executive (govt). When the passed resolution is presented to the President, President remove the judges of SC.
There is no role of govt. in removal of CEC.
Although, I'm not sure whether govt can tender advice on these matters and specifically opposite to what Parliament has shown through its resolution.
EiChan,@MaeveWiley Option A is correct. Remodeling of army can be done only when king isn't threatened to his life. Because of proximity, Mir Saheb constantly felt insecure.
@Conquer The role of Govt (President) is mentioned in constitution itself. Imagine, if the removal proceedings are all done and he is presented with them, but he doesnt issue the order till 6 months. Doesnt that mean he has a major role in removing CEC, contrary to what you said that he has "no role"? Also, I don't know if he bound to give the order within a specified time or not. He may sit on it for as long as he likes. Remember the Constitution uses a negative worded statement...."The Judge of SC shall not be removed from his office except by an order of President.....". Whenever they use a negative worded statement, the intent is to clarify the crucial role of President. Until President issues order, SC judge cant be removed, no matter if the Parliament has decided or not. In place of using a positive worded statement, a negative worded statement is intentionally put to say that if President doesnt give the order, the judge cant be removed. Period.
@Villanelle I feel this question is picked up from "power of mutual delegation", as in this case executive power of Union is clearly more broader than state. While states needs to take permission of president,if it wants to entrust state executive function to centre. president doesn't require permission of governor if it's done by Parilamantary act.
Though Article 365 can also be the reason.
But u think framing of statement isn't right. Remember, in India neither union nor state and for that judiciary is supreme, it's the constitution. In case if state and union, various SC mentioned neither of two superior or inferior.
@jassikamboj16303 Got your point. Let me say it wrt AIS. Who's appointing & removal authority President. Similarly, President and Parliament has role but not the govt.
Go with De-jure authority not de-facto. I understand President has to work as per the advice tendered by CoM but remember President in India though bound by CoM advice but it seen as an independent constitutional authority.
That's why I said govt has no role. I still stand with my statement.
It's bit technical.
jassikamboj16303,@Conquer No. The houses of the Parliament only recommend that the Judge/ CEC be removed and it is the President who has the power to remove. As per Article 74, President is bound to exercise his power as per the advice tendered by the CoM. The President has a limited set of discretionary powers and this one isn’t one of those. Thus, while the pre-conditions have to be necessarily met, it is ultimately the President who has the removing power which is exercised on the advice of the CoM.
From DD Basu:
Conquer,@Conquer I would say it is VERY technical, and any more hair-splittery will make both of us lose more hair from the head. Let's move on.......I still have a lot to revise lol.
Conquer,@jassikamboj16303 Indeed futile to get into long drawn discuss.
