Overview
UPSC emphasizes the functioning of democratic institutions, the principles of accountability and transparency, and the role of the legislature in controlling the executive, especially concerning public finance and policy implementation.
Legislative oversight of executive spending is a fundamental principle of democratic governance, ensuring accountability and transparency in the use of public funds. Legislatures, through various committees and procedures, scrutinize government budgets, expenditure proposals, and financial performance to prevent misuse of power and ensure adherence to national priorities.
