Consider the following statements : 1. The President shall make rules for the more convenient transaction of the business of the Government of India, and for the allocation among Ministers of the said business. 2. All executive actions of the Government of India shall be expressed to be taken in the name of the Prime Minister. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Let's examine the constitutional provisions related to the transaction of Government of India's business: The President shall make rules for the more convenient transaction of the business of the Government of India, and for the allocation among Ministers of the said business: This statement is correct. Article 77(3) of the Indian Constitution states, "The President shall make rules for the more convenient transaction of the business of the Government of India, and for the allocation among Ministers of the said business." These rules are known as the 'Government of India (Allocation of Business) Rules' and 'Government of India (Transaction of Business) Rules'. All executive actions of the Government of India shall be expressed to be taken in the name of the Prime Minister: This statement is incorrect. Article 77(1) clearly states, "All executive action of the Government of India shall be expressed to be taken in the name of the President." While the Prime Minister is the head of the government and makes policy decisions, these executive actions are formally issued in the name of the President. Therefore, only statement 1 is correct.
