Solution

The correct option is C 3 only

Explanation:

Absolute veto: The power of the President to withhold the assent to the bill is termed as his absolute veto. When the President exercises his absolute veto, a bill never sees the day of the light. The bill ends even after being passed by the Indian Parliament and does not become an act. The President uses his absolute veto when the bill passed by the Parliament is a Private Member Bill and when the cabinet resigns before the President could give his assent to the bill.

Suspensive Veto: The power of the President to return the bill to the Parliament for reconsideration is called a suspensive veto. However if the bill is passed again by the Parliament with or without amendments, it is obligatory for the President to give assent to the bill.

Pocket Veto: The power of the President to not act upon the bill. The Constitution does not give any time limit to the President within which he has to act upon the bill. Therefore, the President uses his pocket veto where he doesn’t have to act upon the bill.

Hence Option C is correct.
