Which of the following accurately reflects the constitutional provisions and historical application of financial Emergency under Article 360?
निम्नलिखित में से कौन-सा विकल्प अनुच्छेद 360 के तहत वित्तीय आपातकाल के संवैधानिक प्रावधानों और उसके ऐतिहासिक उपयोग को सही रूप में दर्शाता है?
Detailed Solution & Logic
No Financial Emergency has been declared, but it allows salary cuts of SC judges. / कभी भी वित्तीय आपातकाल घोषित नहीं किया गया है, लेकिन यह सुप्रीम कोर्ट के न्यायाधीशों के वेतन में कटौती की अनुमति देता है।
Under Article 360 of the Indian Constitution, the President can declare a Financial Emergency if India’s financial stability is threatened.
So far, no Financial Emergency has ever been declared in India.
However, if it is declared, the President gets the power to:
- Reduce salaries and allowances of government employees, including judges of the Supreme Court and High Courts
- Direct states on financial matters
भारतीय संविधान का अनुच्छेद 360 के अनुसार, यदि देश की वित्तीय स्थिरता खतरे में हो, तो राष्ट्रपति वित्तीय आपातकाल घोषित कर सकते हैं।
अब तक भारत में कभी भी वित्तीय आपातकाल लागू नहीं किया गया है।
लेकिन यदि यह लागू होता है, तो राष्ट्रपति:
- सरकारी कर्मचारियों और सुप्रीम कोर्ट/हाई कोर्ट के न्यायाधीशों के वेतन में कटौती कर सकते हैं
- राज्यों को वित्तीय मामलों में निर्देश दे सकते हैं
Why other options are incorrect / अन्य विकल्प गलत क्यों हैं
- Financial Emergency in 1991 ❌
Economic crisis हुआ था, लेकिन Emergency घोषित नहीं हुई। - States withholding central salaries ❌
यह अधिकार राज्यों को नहीं, बल्कि केंद्र/राष्ट्रपति को होता है। - President dismissing Union Cabinet ❌
यह प्रावधान नहीं है; यह राजनीतिक/संवैधानिक प्रक्रिया अलग है।
Extra Facts / अतिरिक्त तथ्य
- India has declared National Emergency (Article 352) and President’s Rule (Article 356) multiple times, but never Financial Emergency.
- Financial Emergency affects Centre-State relations and financial autonomy significantly.
