The False statements about the Legislative powers of the President are
(i) The Punchhi Commission has recommended that whenever any state bill is sent to the President for his assent under Article 201, he should give his assent within a period of fifteen days.
(ii) Article 111 of the constitution gives details regarding the President's role in the law making.
(iii) The President is given the right to promulgate ordinances under Article 123.
Answer: A
Only statement (i) is false. The Punchhi Commission recommended that the President should give assent to a state bill within six months, not fifteen days.
Statements (ii) and (iii) are true: Article 111 deals with the President's assent to bills, and Article 123 gives the President the power to promulgate ordinances when Parliament is not in session. So (i) only is the false statement.
The Punchhi Commission on Centre-State relations reported in 2010, and its time-limit suggestion on assent under Article 201 was six months.
