Individual ministerial responsibility is a constitutional convention in governments using the Westminster System that a cabinetminister bears the ultimate responsibility for the actions of their ministry or department. Individual ministerial responsibility is not the same as cabinet collective responsibility, which states members of the cabinet must approve publicly of its collective decisions or resign. This means that a motion for a vote of "no confidence" is not in order should the actions of an organ of government fail in the proper discharge of their responsibilities. Where there is ministerial responsibility, the accountable minister is expected to take the blame and ultimately resign, but the majority or coalition within parliament of which the minister is part, is not held to be answerable for that minister's failure.

Individual Responsibility- The minister is responsible only for his own ministry or whatever portfolio he heads. And Collective Responsibility- If the Prime Minister gives resignation then the whole Council of Monsters stands dissolved. Example- V.P. Singh resigned after failing floor test and the new elections were held.
