Q. Consider the following types of emergencies:

1. National Emergency
2. President’s Rule
3. Financial Emergency
4. Climate Emergency

Which of the above types of emergencies has the Constitution of India empowered the President to deal with by conferring extraordinary powers?
Answer: Only 1, 2 and 3
Notes: The Constitution of India provides for three types of emergencies: National Emergency (Article 352), President’s Rule (Articles 356 & 365), and Financial Emergency (Article 360), all of which confer exceptional powers on the President. Climate Emergency is not recognized under the Constitution, hence not included in the conferral of such powers.
