Q. Consider the following types of veto powers in relation to the President of India:

1. Absolute Veto – The President can withhold assent to a Bill passed by the legislature.
2. Qualified Veto – The President’s veto can be overridden by the legislature with an ordinary majority.
3. Suspensive Veto – The President withholds assent but the legislature can override it with a higher majority.
4. Pocket Veto – The President takes no action on a Bill passed by the legislature.

Which of the above are correctly defined?
Answer: Only 1 & 4
Notes: Absolute Veto and Pocket Veto are correctly defined as per Indian practice. Suspensive Veto actually allows the legislature to override the President's veto with an ordinary majority, while Qualified Veto (allowing override by a higher majority) is not present in India but exists in the US. Therefore, only statements 1 and 4 are correct.
