In India, the maximum number of ministers, including the Chief Minister, in the Council of Ministers of a State cannot exceed 15% of the total number of members in the Legislative Assembly of that State. This is specified in Article 164(1A) of the Indian Constitution, which imposes a cap on the size of the Council of Ministers to ensure a reasonable proportion between the executive and the legislative branches of the government.
