Who amongst the following attends the Meetings of the Public Accounts Committee of the Parliament?

Attorney General of India
Solicitor General of India
Comptroller and Auditor-General of India
None of the above

The correct answer is (c), Comptroller and Auditor-General of India.

The Comptroller and Auditor-General of India (CAG) is an independent constitutional authority of India, responsible for auditing the accounts of the central and state governments, as well as of public sector undertakings and other bodies. The CAG is appointed by the President of India on the advice of the Prime Minister and the Council of Ministers.

The CAG is responsible for auditing the accounts of the central and state governments, as well as of public sector undertakings and other bodies. The CAG’s reports are submitted to the President of India, who is required to lay them before Parliament. The CAG also has the power to conduct investigations into any matter relating to the accounts of the government or of any public sector undertaking or other body.

The CAG is an important institution in the Indian system of government. The CAG’s reports are often critical of the government’s financial management and have led to changes in government policies and practices. The CAG’s independence is guaranteed by the Constitution of India and the CAG is not subject to the control of any other authority.

The other options are incorrect. The Attorney General of India is the principal legal adviser to the government of India. The Solicitor General of India is the second-highest law officer of the government of India. Neither the Attorney General nor the Solicitor General attends the Meetings of the Public Accounts Committee of the Parliament.
