Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The Estimates Committee is a unique financial standing committee of the Indian Parliament because it consists entirely of members from the Lok Sabha. Originally established in 1950 with 25 members, its strength was increased to 30 in 1956 [2]. All 30 members are elected annually by the Lok Sabha from among its own members; the Rajya Sabha has no representation in this committee [1]. In contrast, the Public Accounts Committee and the Committee on Public Undertakings both consist of 22 members, with 15 from the Lok Sabha and 7 from the Rajya Sabha [1]. Similarly, Departmentally Related Standing Committees (DRSCs), such as the one on Finance, consist of 31 members, including 21 from the Lok Sabha and 10 from the Rajya Sabha [2]. The Estimates Committee's primary role is to examine budget estimates and suggest 'economies' in public expenditure [2].
