What is JPC
JPC means Joint Parliamentary Committee. Its one type of ad hoc parliamentary Committees constituted by Indian Parliament.
One of its many objective is inquiry of specific subject. It will be constituted by either through a motion adopted by one House and concurred by the other, or, through communication between the presiding officers of the two Houses. Houses means Rajya Sabha or Lok Sabha.
The members in JPC are either elected by the Houses or nominated by the presiding officers. As in the case of other parliamentary committees, they are drawn from different groups. The strength of a JPC ( Joint Parliamentary Committee) may vary. The Lok Sabha share is double than that of the Rajya Sabha.
In JPC, The Public Accounts Committee of Parliament is supposed to conduct a detailed examination of the reports of the Comptroller and Auditor-General (CAG), scrutinising the yearly accounts of the Government.
Having 15 members f the Lok Sabha and seven members of the Rajya Sabha, the chairmanship of the PAC conventionally goes to a nominee of the main opposition party.
The PAC calls upon ministries to explain cases of financial irregularities.
