and the preparation of electoral rolls:
Statement-I: The Election Commission of India possesses the plenary power under Article 324 to
scrutinize the citizenship status of individuals for the purpose of electoral roll inclusion, and its
determination serves as the final and binding adjudication of citizenship in India.

law-making power is expressly subject to the provisions of the Constitution, including the inherent
constitutional functions vested in the Election Commission under Article 324.

Q4. Consider the following statements regarding the "Reserve Bank–Integrated Ombudsman Scheme
(RB-IOS), 2026":

directly approach the RBI Ombudsman in the first instance to ensure rapid, non-adversarial grievance
redressal.
