The correct answer is only b.

Public Accounts Committee -

  • The Public Accounts Committee was introduced in 1921 after its first mention in the Government of India Act, 1919 also called Montford Reforms.
  • PAC is one of the three Financial Parliamentary committees, the other two are the Estimates Committee and the Committee on Public Undertakings.
  • The Chairman of the Committee is appointed by the Speaker of Lok Sabha.
  • The current PAC is headed by Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury since July 2019 after Mallikarjun Kharge, who was the leader of INC in the Lok Sabha.
  • The Committee consists of 22 Members, 15 Members are elected by Lok Sabha and 7 Members of the Rajya Sabha are associated with it. Hence statement a is correct.
  • The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) is a committee of selected members of parliament, constituted by the Parliament of India.
  •  For the purpose of auditing the revenue and the expenditure of the Government of India.
  • The chairman of the committee is appointed from amongst its members by the Speaker.
  • Until 1966 - ‘67, the chairman of the committee belonged to the ruling party. However, since 1967 a convention has developed whereby the chairman of the committee is selected invariably from the Opposition. Hence statement b is incorrect.
  • The Committee on Public Accounts scrutinizes the Appropriation Accounts of the Government of India and the reports of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India thereon.
