Q. Which of the following are exclusive functions of the Lok Sabha Speaker in the Indian Parliament?

1. To certify if a bill is a money bill
2. To exercise the casting vote
3. To appoint the Lok Sabha Secretary
4. To invite the President for a joint sitting of the two Houses

Select the correct option from the codes given below:
Answer: Only 1 & 3
Notes: The Speaker exclusively certifies a money bill and appoints the Lok Sabha Secretary. Casting vote is not an exclusive function; the Chairman of Rajya Sabha also has it. Inviting the President for a joint sitting is not a Speaker’s exclusive function. The Speaker also presides over joint sittings and appoints select/parliamentary committee chairpersons if necessary.
