List of Indian President

The President of India is regarded as the supreme head of the state who exercises the whole executive power of the union.

By the 42nd Amendment Act, it was made compulsory that the President should always work under the advice of the Council of Ministers headed by the Prime Minister. Again, under the 44th Amendment Act, the President was given power to ask the Cabinet to reconsider its advice. But after reconsideration of the advice he must act according to that.

The President of India is elected by an “Electoral college” consisting of the elected members of the Lok Sabha, the Rajya Sabha and the State Legislative Assemblies. He is paid a salary of Rs. 5 lakh p.m. He is provided with an official residence and he is entitled to many other perks and many more facilities.

The president of India is treated as the head of the executive. He is also the commander-in-chief of the Indian Armed Forces.
