Answer

Exam answer

(c) Has to be approved within six months from the re-assembly of the Parliament..

Explanation

The false statement is (c). An Ordinance ceases to operate SIX WEEKS after Parliament reassembles, not six months, unless both Houses approve it before then. The other three are all true: the President promulgates it, only when Parliament is not in session, and it needs the approval of both Houses to survive. The six weeks are the figure to fix — they exist to give Parliament time to consider the measure.

In words

Has to be approved within six months from the re-assembly of the Parliament..
