Control over delegated legislation in India is a crucial aspect of parliamentary oversight to ensure that the executive, when exercising powers delegated by the legislature, acts within the confines of the parent act and the Constitution. This control is exercised by Parliament, specifically through committees in both the Rajya Sabha and the Lok Sabha. The Committee on Subordinate Legislation in each House scrutinizes the rules, regulations, and by-laws laid before the House. If the committees find any such statutory instrument to be ultra vires, inconsistent with the parent act, involving financial implications requiring a vote of the House, or requiring clarification, they report to the respective House, which can then take action, including annulment or modification. While both Houses exercise this control, some sources and historical accounts give a slight emphasis or historical precedence to the Rajya Sabha Committee on Subordinate Legislation, which was constituted earlier than its Lok Sabha counterpart. The power essentially lies with Parliament, but among the given options of individual houses, Rajya Sabha is sometimes cited in contexts related to the detailed scrutiny of executive rules. However, it is important to note that this is a function performed by both houses.
