Veto Powers of the President (వీటో అధికారాలు)

* 'Veto' means the power to reject or stop a bill.

* The President's veto power can be overridden by the Parliament or Cabinet if they re-pass the bill with or without amendments and send it back to the President. In such cases, it is generally considered that the President must approve the bill.

* However, if Governors send bills passed by the State Legislative Assemblies for the President's consideration, the President can reject them. Even if the state legislature re-approves the bill and sends it back, the President is not obliged to approve it.

Types of Veto Powers

The President of India has the following types of Veto Powers:

   

       
• 1. Suspensive Veto (సస్పెన్సివ్ వీటో):
           
               
• * This is when the President withholds approval for bills passed by the Parliament or the Central Council of Ministers and returns them for reconsideration, often with suggestions for amendments or further review.
               
• * Parliament can override the President's Suspensive Veto by re-passing the bill.
               
• * Example: A.P.J. Abdul Kalam used his Suspensive Veto in 2006 regarding the 'Office of Profit' bill (జీడు పదవులు (లాభదాయక పదవులు) బిల్లు).
           
       
• 2. Pocket Veto (పాకెట్ వీటో):
           
               
• * This occurs when the President neither approves nor rejects a bill passed by the Parliament or Central Council of Ministers, but simply keeps the bill pending indefinitely without any decision.
               
• * Example: In 1986, President Giani Zail Singh used his Pocket Veto on the Postal Bill.
           
       
• 3. Qualified Veto (క్వాలిఫైడ్ వీటో):
           
               
• * The Indian President does not have this power.
               
• * This power is available to the US President. In the USA, to override the President's veto, it requires a 2/3rd special majority within a stipulated time frame (10 days).
