Question

Consider the following offices: I. The Vice President of India; II. The Governors within their respective States; III. The Prime Minister of India; IV. The Speaker of the Lok Sabha. Which one of the following options represents the correct order of these offices for ceremonial occasions in the Table of Precedence as approved by the President of India?

Accepted Answer

I, III, II, IV. India's official Table of Precedence ranks the Vice President second, right after the President. The Prime Minister comes next at rank three, ahead of every other office listed here. Governors rank fourth, but only within their own respective States, not nationwide. The Speaker of the Lok Sabha sits lower still, tied with the Chief Justice of India at rank six. So the correct ceremonial order here is Vice President, Prime Minister, Governor, then Speaker. That sequence is I, III, II, IV, making option (b) the answer.
