The Cabinet Secretariat functions under the direct charge of the Prime Minister. It provides secretarial assistance to the Cabinet and Cabinet Committees and supports the Prime Minister in the administration of rules of business. While the formal allocation of business is done by the President under Article 77(3), the Cabinet Secretariat serves the core executive headed by the Prime Minister. The specific wording “deemed to have been, allotted to” indicates its direct link and accountability to the head of the government, the Prime Minister.
