Vice-President of India also holds which one office from the following ?

  • A.Chairman of Finance Commission
  • B.Chairman of Rajya Sabha
  • C.Chairman of Privileges Committee
  • D.None of the above

Answer: B

The Vice-President is ex officio Chairman of Rajya Sabha.

Article 64 provides that the Vice-President shall be ex officio Chairman of the Council of States and shall hold no other office of profit. He presides over the House but is not one of its members.

The Chairman of the Finance Commission is appointed by the President under Article 280 for each Commission, and the Committee of Privileges is a parliamentary committee with its own chair. Neither office goes with the Vice-Presidency, so 'None of the above' is also wrong.
