Article 74 of the Constitution of India mentions the provision of Council of Minister for aid and advice of the President of India.
Article 74(1) states that “There shall be a Council of Ministers with the Prime Minister at the head to aid and advise the President who shall, in the exercise of his functions, act in accordance with such advice.” The Article essentially establishes the parliamentary system at the Union level, where the President acts on the aid and advice of the Council of Ministers.
The 42nd Amendment Act of 1976 made the advice of the Council of Ministers binding on the President. The 44th Amendment Act of 1978 added a proviso allowing the President to require the Council of Ministers to reconsider such advice, but requiring the President to act in accordance with the advice tendered after such reconsideration.
