उप-राष्ट्रपतीच्या स्थानासंबंधी खालील विधाने विचारात घ्या.
(a) संविधानाचे कलम-63 हे उप-राष्ट्रपती पदासंदर्भात आहे.
(b) तो राज्यसभेचा सदस्य असतो.
(c) त्यास राज्यसभेचा अध्यक्ष म्हणून वेतन दिले जाते.
(d) त्यास महाभियोगाद्वारे पदावरून दूर केले जाऊ शकते.
वरील विधानांपैकी कोणती विधाने बरोबर आहेत ?

The correct answer is Option B ((a) and (c)).

Key Points:
• Detailed Examination of Statements:
• Statement (a) is correct: Article 63 explicitly states, 'There shall be a Vice-President of India.'
• Statement (b) is incorrect: Under Article 66(2), the Vice-President is not a member of either House of Parliament or of a House of the Legislature of any State.
• Statement (c) is correct: Under Article 97 and the Second Schedule, the Vice-President draws his salary and emoluments in his capacity as the ex-officio Chairman of the Council of States (Rajya Sabha), not as Vice-President.
• Statement (d) is incorrect: The Constitution does not use the term 'impeachment' for the Vice-President. Under Article 67(b), he may be removed by a formal resolution of the Rajya Sabha passed by an effective majority (majority of all the then members) and agreed to by the Lok Sabha with a simple majority. Impeachment under Article 61 applies strictly to the President.
• Key Takeaway: Vice-President is not an MP and is removed by an effective majority resolution, not impeachment.
