(a) Three of its Legislative Powers.
(b) Three of its Financial Powers.
(c) Four of its Administrative or Executive Powers.
(a) Legislative Powers:-The
Parliament of the Union Government is competent to legislate on all matters
that are enumerated in the Union List and the Concurrent List of the
Constitution. In the Concurrent List, the Parliament and the State Legislatures
have joint jurisdiction. However, in case of conflict over any law made under
the Concurrent List, the Union Law will prevail upon the State Law provided the
State Law has not received the earlier assent of the President.
(b) Financial Powers:- In
the financial domain the Parliament is the supreme authority. Not a single
paisa can be spent by the Executive without parliamentary sanction. The budget
is annually prepared by the Cabinet and it is submitted for the approval of the
Parliament. The Parliament also approves all proposals of the Union Government
to impose taxes.
(c) Executive Powers:- The
Parliament keeps a day-to-day watch over the activities of the Executive. As
ours is a parliamentary system of Government, the Executive is responsible to
the Parliament for all acts of omissions and commissions. The Parliament
may remove a Cabinet out of power by a vote of no confidence. It may reject a
bill or a budget proposal of the Cabinet.
