However, modifications are not permitted.Show Answer4. Consider the following:1. Hotels and restaurants2. Motor transport undertakings3. Newspaper establishments4.
Private medical institutionsThe employees of which of the above can have the ‘Social Security’ coverage under “Employees’ State Insurance Scheme’?AOnly 1, 2 & 3B4 OnlyC1, 3 & 4 OnlyD1, 2, 3 & 4. 1, 2, 3 & 4Employees’ State Insurance Scheme of India is an integrated social security scheme tailored to provide social protection to workers and their dependants, in the organised sector, in contingencies, such as, sickness, maternity and death or disablement due to an employment injury or occupational hazard.The ESI Act applies to any premises/precincts, where 10 or more persons are employed.
A factory or an establishment located in a geographical area notified for implementation of the Scheme, falls under the purview of the Act. Employees of the aforesaid categories of factories and establishments, drawing wages upto Rs.15,000/- (w.e.f. ) a month, are entitled to social security cover under the ESI Act. The wage ceiling for purpose of coverage of employees is revised from time to time, to keep pace with rising cost of living and consequent wage hikes.The “appropriate Government” State or Central is empowered to extend the provisions of the ESI Act to various classes of establishments, industrial, commercial or agricultural or otherwise. Under these enabling provisions most of the State Govts have extended the ESI Act to certain specific class of establishments, such as, shops, hotels, restaurants, cinemas, preview theatres, motors transport undertakings and newspaper establishments etc., employing 20 or more persons.
Further under section 1(5) of the Act, the Scheme has been extended to Private Medical and Educational institutions employing 20. or more persons in certain States/UTs.
The correct answer of this question is 1, 2, 3 & 4.Show Answer5. According to the Constitution of India, it is the duty of the President of India to cause to be laid before the Parliament which of the following?1. The Recommendations of the Union Finance Commission2. The Report of the Public Accounts Committee3. The Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General4. The Report of the National Commission for Scheduled CastesSelect the correct answer using the codes given below:A1 OnlyB2 & 4 OnlyC1, 3 & 4 OnlyD1, 2, 3 & 4. 1, 3 & 4 OnlyFinance Commission is obviously correct.
CAG report is placed as per article 151. NCSC is as per article 338. Public Account Committee is notthere.
So correct answer is 1, 3 & 4Show Answer6. A deadlock between the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha calls for a joint sitting of the Parliament during the passage of1. Ordinary Legislation2. Constitution Amendment BillSelect the correct answer using the codes given below:AOnly 1B2 & 3 OnlyC1 & 3 OnlyD1, 2 & 3. Only 1The article 368 says that the constitution amendment bills have to be passed by both houses individually. In case of any disagreement between the two Houses of Parliament on a Constitution Amendment Bill, there CANNOT be a joint sitting of the Houses of Parliament.
Then how to move forward?You can not move forward in fact:) The fate of such bills is decided in this way only, no alternatives.The makers of the constitution did not want that every now and then the MPS sit together and make changes in it. The idea is to make the “constitution amendment difficult” so that its value can be retained.This means that the amending power of the parliament is subject to procedural check via the amending power itself. The procedure laid down in article 368 has basically imposed restriction on the parliament itself. You can imagine, how difficult is it to gain two third majority of members present and voting and then absolute majority of the total members of each house of the parliament. Please note that in past a CPI member Bhupesh Gupta had once brought forward a bill, which sought to amend the article 368 and provide for a joint sitting. It was not passed, because it itself was a Constitution amendment bill:) Then, a deadlock on Money Bill does not arises.

1 & 3 OnlyLet me analyse the statements one by one:Fist statement:While appointing the Supreme Court Judges, the President of India has to consult the Chief Justice of IndiaWe should note that that the mechanism for the appointment of judges to the high courts and the Supreme Court has changed after the 1993 and 1998 verdicts of the Supreme Court. Today, the Executive and Legislative organs of the State have no real role in the appointment of judges. According to Article 124 (2) of the Constitution, every judge of the Supreme Court shall be appointed by the President after consultations with such judges as the President may deem necessary. But in the case of the appointment of a judge other than the chief justice, Chief Justice of India shall always be consulted.
