The Committee on Estimates consists of 30 members, all of whom are from the Lok Sabha (House of the People). The Committee on Public Accounts and the Committee on Public Undertakings each consist of 22 members (15 from Lok Sabha and 7 from Rajya Sabha). The Committee on Petitions has a varying number of members, typically smaller than the others listed.
