Besides representation, the Parliament of India is also a deliberative body with diverse functions. Which one among the following is not a function of the Parliament of India ?

In the Indian parliamentary system, there is a clear functional distinction between the Legislature and the Executive. The Parliament is the supreme legislative body responsible for making laws, overseeing the work of the Executive, and holding the government accountable for its actions and expenditure [5]. It also serves as a forum for ventilating the grievances of the people and possesses constituent powers to amend the Constitution [6]. However, the actual execution or implementation of major policy decisions is the primary role of the Executive, which is composed of the President, Vice President, and the Council of Ministers [5]. While the Parliament controls and guides the government, it does not directly execute policies; rather, it ensures that the Executive remains responsible and responsive to the people [5]. Therefore, executing major policy decisions is not a function of the Parliament.
