Question

Accepted Answer

The Estimates Committee was first set up in 1950 on the recommendation of the then Finance Minister, John Mathai. Originally it had 25 members, but in 1956 its membership was increased to 30. All 30 members are elected solely from the Lok Sabha; Rajya Sabha has no representation in this committee.
