- Statement I: Cabinet Committees are extra-constitutional bodies. They are not mentioned in the Constitution of India but are established under the Government of India (Transaction of Business) Rules, 1961. Thus, Statement I is true. - Statement II: Cabinet Committees are constituted by the Prime Minister to facilitate decision-making on specific issues and are formed according to the specific needs and requirements of the situation. Thus, Statement II is true. - Statement III: While the Prime Minister usually chairs the most important Cabinet Committees (like the Cabinet Committee on Security, Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, etc.), he may be a member of other committees chaired by senior ministers. For instance, the Parliamentary Affairs Committee is typically chaired by the Minister of Defence or Home Minister, even though the Prime Minister might be a member. Thus, Statement III is true. - Statement IV: The Parliamentary Affairs Committee is usually chaired by a senior minister like the Minister of Defence or Home Minister, not the Prime Minister. Thus, Statement IV is false.
