Q. Which committee is described as the ‘twin sister’ of the Estimates Committee?
Answer: Public Accounts Committee
Notes: The Public Accounts Committee is called the twinsister of the Estimates Committee. It is its duty to scrutinize the appropriation accounts and the report of the Comptroller and Auditor-General (CAG) of India. Unlike the Estimates Committee, it has at its disposal the expert advice of the CAG based upon a detailed examination of the government’s accounts.
