A significant feature of the legislative process is the appointment of committees for various legislative purposes. These committees play a vital role not merely in law making, but also in the day-to-day business of the House.

1. A large part of the discussion on the bills takes place in the committees. The recommendation of the committee is then sent to the House. That is why committees are referred to as miniature legislatures.

2. The Committee has influenced the overseeing and appraisal of legislation of legislation by Parliament. The Parliament rarely rejects the recommendations of the committee.

3. There are over twenty departmentally related committees. Standing Committees supervise the work of various departments, their budget, their expenditure and bills that come up in the house relating to the department.

4. The Joint Parliamentary Committees have occupied a position of eminence in our country. Joint Parliamentary Committees (JPCs) can be set up for the purpose of discussing a particular bill.

5. Thus Parliamentary Committees have reduced the burden on the legislature and saves time of the parliament.

6. The Parliament has merely approved the work done in the committees with few occasional alterations.
