What this means
- The index files this text under article 112 of the Constitution of India.
- The index files it under the chapter heading “CHAPTER II.—P ARLIAMENT — General”.
- The passage runs to about 367 words.
- Read plainly, it mentions pay and pensions — it sets pay, salary, allowance or pension terms (the words used: “salaries”).
The row’s stored title is a body fragment, not a heading (“(1) The President shall in respect of every financial”), so it is not used as the provision’s title here.
The index gives this passage an article number but stores a body fragment where a heading would be, so the number could not be cross-checked against the text. Check it against the official Constitution before relying on it in a citation.
This is a mechanical reading aid generated from the text above by matching words in it. It is not legal advice, not a lawyer’s interpretation, and not a substitute for the provision itself.
