Which body decides the conditions for getting the citizenship of India? A. Election commission B. President C. Parliament D. Parliament and legislative assemblies

[amp_mcq option1=”Election commission” option2=”President” option3=”Parliament” option4=”Parliament and legislative assemblies” correct=”option3″]

The correct answer is: C. Parliament

The Parliament of India is the supreme legislative body of India. It is a bicameral legislature, consisting of the President and the two Houses of Parliament: the Rajya Sabha (Council of States) and the Lok Sabha (House of the People).

The Parliament is responsible for making laws, including laws relating to citizenship. The Citizenship Act, 1955, is the principal law governing citizenship in India. The Act defines who is a citizen of India, and the conditions for acquiring and losing Indian citizenship.

The President of India has the power to grant citizenship to foreigners, but this power is exercised on the advice of the Parliament. The Parliament can also amend the Citizenship Act, 1955.

The Election Commission is an independent body responsible for conducting elections in India. It has no role in determining the conditions for getting Indian citizenship.

The legislative assemblies of the states have no role in determining the conditions for getting Indian citizenship.
