- Although members of this Committee are elected from both Houses of Parliament, the Chairperson of this Committee is appointed by the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha.
- Twenty members are elected by the Rajya Sabha and ten members by the Lok Sabha.
- No Minister, except for the Union Minister of Social Justice and Empowerment, is eligible to be a member of this Committee.
- Members are elected for a fixed term of two years from the date they enter their office.
Explanation
The correct option, "There is no correct statement," is valid because all the statements provided contain inaccuracies regarding the Committee on the Welfare of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. Specifically, the Chairperson is appointed by the Lok Sabha, not the Rajya Sabha, and the correct composition includes 15 members from the Lok Sabha and 5 from the Rajya Sabha, rather than 10 and 20 members stated. Furthermore, while no Minister except the Union Minister of Social Justice and Empowerment can be part of the committee, the claim about the fixed two-year term for members is not accurate as members serve for the duration of the parliamentary term. This understanding highlights the importance of precise knowledge of parliamentary committees, a common focus in UPSC examinations.
