The Congress leader in Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury has been yet again appointed as the chairman of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC).
Every year, the Lok Sabha Speaker re-constitutes the panels including PAC.
It is traditionally headed by the representative of the main Opposition party.
The PAC is the most powerful panel of the Parliament.
It is empowered to consider all CAG reports and give recommendations to Government.
The panel can look into any accounts and fund flow and its irregularity related issue to examine and summon any Government officers and private individuals.
Though Chairman has authority to discuss and select any subject to be examined, voting system helps the ruling party to take decisions in the report.
