The functions, composition, and procedure of parliamentary committees in the Lok Sabha are primarily determined by the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in Lok Sabha. The Rules Committee of Lok Sabha is responsible for considering matters of procedure and conduct of business in the House and recommending any amendments to the rules it considers necessary. Therefore, the Rules Committee plays a crucial role in determining the framework within which other committees function. While the Speaker appoints the chairmen and members of most committees (except for a few elected ones), the fundamental rules and scope of functions are laid down in the rules framed or recommended by the Rules Committee.

The Rules Committee of Lok Sabha is instrumental in framing and amending the rules governing the procedure and conduct of business, which includes defining the functions of various parliamentary committees.

The Speaker of Lok Sabha is the ex-officio Chairman of the Rules Committee. Other committees like the Business Advisory Committee also help in deciding the business before the House, but the core rules governing committees stem from the Rules Committee’s recommendations and the adopted Rules of Procedure.
