It must be understood first that the Cabinet is the highest decision making and policy making the executive body in India. It can be taken as a subset of Council of Ministers.
1. Council of Ministers is a bigger body of which the Cabinet is a small part.
2. All Union Ministers constitute the Council of Ministers while the Cabinet consists of the top 15-20 ministers only. But important Ministers are made the members of the cabinet.
3. Policy-making is performed by the Cabinet and not by the Council of Ministers.
4. A full meeting of the council of ministers is rarely held. The meeting of the cabinet is held weekly or as the case may be.
Just see an informal allegory-- Prime Minister is the engine, Cabinet Ministers the gears and Council of Ministers the wheels.
