Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC)
Role and Process
A JPC is a temporary ad hoc committee constituted by Parliament to examine a specific Bill or matter requiring multi-party, bicameral scrutiny. It consists of members from both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha in the ratio roughly proportional to party strength.
- JPCs can summon witnesses, call for documents, and travel for consultations
- Reports are presented to both Houses; government is not obligated to accept all recommendations
- The VBSA JPC's interactions with regulators, educators, and civil society groups follow standard legislative scrutiny procedures under Parliamentary Rules
