plzz in detail

Answer 1

Council of ministers are appointed by President on the advice of Prime minister.
Only the Members of Parliament are appointed as Ministers. In case a person who is not a member of Parliament has been appointed as a minister, he must be elected or nominated to the Parliament within six months from the date of his appointment.

Answer 2

Council of Ministers are the ministers appointed by the President of India on advice of the Prime Minister. Council of Ministers are categorized into three categories.

1- Cabinet Ministers- They act as head of important ministries of the central government. For e.g- Defense Ministry, Home Ministry, Finance Ministry etc. They are the integral part of Cabinet, as a result of which, they play a very important role in framing policies.

2- Ministers of state- They can be given Independent charge of ministries or can be attached to the cabinet ministers. When attached to the cabinet ministers, they work under the guidance of cabinet ministers. The difference from the cabinet ministers lie in the fact that, they do not attend the cabinet meetings as they are not the part of cabinet (unless specially invited when something related to their ministry is being considered by the cabinet)

3- Deputy Ministers- They are never given independent charge of ministry( unlike ministers of state), and always remain attached to the cabinet ministers or ministers of state. They assist to discharge the political, administrative and parliamentary duties effectively. They are neither part of cabinet nor attend the cabinet meetings.

The council of ministers are appointed by The President of India, on advise of The Prime Minister of india, i.e a person must be recommended by The Prime Minister of India to become the council of Minister.

The person can be from either House of Parliament (Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha). In case a person is neither a member of Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha, and is recommended by Prime Minister to be appointed as Council of Minister, such person within six months must become a member of either house (by election or nomination), otherwise he ceases to be a minister.
