The Union Cabinet Ministers of India are responsible in the day-to-day execution and administration of the national laws. A number of Union Ministries and Departments have been created therefore by the Indian Parliament for the greater interest in dealing with specific areas of national and international affairs. The Ministries also act in advisory and funding capacity in dealing the matters which are deputed to the States.
The ministers are based in offices of their respective Union Ministries in New Delhi. The Parliament comprises the President, Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha. Both the houses of Parliament give consents to all the governance. However, the will of the Lok Sabha always endures in case of money bills. Thus the Government of India, commonly as Central Government also officially referred as the Union Government.
