The Committee on Public Assurances (or Committee on Government Assurances) is a parliamentary committee constituted in both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha. Its specific function is to scrutinize the assurances, promises, undertakings, etc., given by Ministers in the Houses from time to time and to report on the extent to which such assurances have been implemented. They examine whether the government has fulfilled the commitments made on the floor of the House within a reasonable time frame.

– Function of the Committee on Public Assurances: Monitor the implementation of assurances/promises made by Ministers in Parliament.
– Composition: Members from the respective House (Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha).
– Reporting: Reports to the House on the status of implementation.

Departmentally Related Standing Committees examine Bills, budgets, and policies related to specific ministries. The Business Advisory Committee allocates time for discussion of government business. The Political Affairs Committee is an informal high-level body within the Union Cabinet that deals with major policy issues. None of these are specifically tasked with following up on ministerial assurances made on the floor of the House; this is the dedicated role of the Committee on Public Assurances.
