In the Indian parliamentary system, the ministers, who are part of the executive branch, do not become members of parliamentary committees, which are part of the legislative branch. This separation ensures a system of checks and balances and prevents any potential conflict of interest. The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) is an important parliamentary committee responsible for examining government expenditures and ensuring financial accountability. It is constituted every year and is composed of members of Parliament.
