Both statements are incorrect. The Committee on Estimates is a standing committee of the Parliament. The Committee on Railway Convention is typically considered an ad hoc committee, reconstituted periodically for a specific purpose, not a standing committee in the usual classification. Therefore, neither 1 nor 2 is correct.

Parliamentary committees are classified as either standing committees (permanent) or ad hoc committees (temporary, for specific purposes). The Estimates Committee is a prominent standing financial committee.

Standing committees exist on a permanent basis, while ad hoc committees are constituted for a specific task and cease to exist once the task is completed. The three main financial committees are the Public Accounts Committee, the Estimates Committee, and the Committee on Public Undertakings, all of which are standing committees. The Committee on Railway Convention is set up for the duration of each Parliament to review financial matters between Railways and General Revenues.
