mention two offices of profit
Answers
n office of profit means a position that brings to the person holding it some financial gain, or advantage, or benefit. It may be an office or place of profit if it carries some remuneration, financial advantage, benefit etc.The term is used in Article 102 (1)(A) of the Indian Constitution which bars a member of the Indian Parliament from holding an office that would give its occupant the opportunity to gain a financial advantage or benefit. It refers to a post under central/state government which yields salaries, perks and other benefits.
Even though there is no law which defines the term “Office of Profit”. Therefore, one has to depend on the decisions of the Supreme Court of India. Fortunately for us the court has explained with great clarity the law of office of profit in a large number of cases.
Accordingly SC has given these conditions to determine whether an office comes under office of profit or not.
1.The government makes the appointment
2.The government has the right to remove or dismiss the holder
3.The government pays the remuneration
4.The holder performs the functions for the government
5.The Government exercises control over the performance of those functions.
