Correct Answer: pocket veto of the president


Solution : The correct answer is the Pocket veto of the President.

The suspensive veto power of the Indian President involves several key points:

  • The president can keep a bill pending indefinitely using a pocket veto.
  • During this process, the president neither rejects the bill nor sends it back for reconsideration.
  • The Constitution does not specify a time limit within which the president must act on the bill, allowing for the use of a pocket veto.
  • The president does not have veto power over constitutional amendment bills.
