अंदाज समितीबाबत खालीलपैकी कोणते विधान बरोबर नाही ?

The correct answer is Option A (The origin of this Committee can be traced to the Standing Financial Committee set up in 1935.).

Key Points:
• Statement (1) is incorrect: The origin of the Estimates Committee traces back to the Standing Financial Committee established in 1921 (under the Montagu-Chelmsford reforms), not 1935.
• Statement (2) is correct: Post-independence, the first Estimates Committee was constituted in 1950 on the recommendation of then Finance Minister John Mathai.
• Statement (3) is correct: Originally, it had 25 members; in 1956, its membership was expanded to 30 members, all drawn exclusively from the Lok Sabha.
• Statement (4) is correct: Under parliamentary conventions and rules, if the Deputy Speaker of Lok Sabha is appointed to the committee, he automatically becomes its Chairman.
• Therefore, statement (1) is incorrect and is the designated answer.
• Key Takeaway: The Estimates Committee traces its origins to 1921 (not 1935); John Mathai set it up in 1950, and it expanded to 30 members in 1956.
