The President of India enjoys emergency powers of three types:
- National Emergency: This can be declared when the security of India or any part of the territory thereof is threatened, whether by war or external aggression or armed rebellion.
- President’s Rule: This can be imposed on a state when the President is satisfied that a situation has arisen in which the government of the state cannot be carried on in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution.
- Financial Emergency: This can be declared when the financial stability or credit of India is threatened.
The President’s emergency powers are subject to the approval of Parliament. Parliament can also revoke an emergency declared by the President.
