India’s parliamentary system is structured as:

• A bicameral legislature with the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha

• A single house of parliament

• A presidential system with no parliament

• A monarchy with a council of ministers

The key functions of the Parliament include:

• Making laws, controlling finances, and overseeing the government

• Conducting court trials and passing verdicts

• Managing local municipal services

• Running private businesses and industries

The roles of the legislature and the executive in India’s Parliamentary democracy are:

• The legislature makes laws and holds the executive accountable, while the executive implements laws.

• The executive makes laws and the legislature implements them.

• Both the legislature and executive only implement laws.

• The legislature and executive have no distinct roles.

The legislature and the executive are organised at the union and state levels as follows:

• The legislature consists of Parliament at the union level and State Legislatures at the state level, while the executive consists of the President and Council of Ministers at the union level and the Governor and Council of Ministers at the state level.

• Both the legislature and executive are the same at both union and state levels.

• The executive is only present at the union level, not at the state level.
