The statement stating '1 only' is correct.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze Statement 1 regarding the composition of the Estimates Committee.
The Estimates Committee consists of 30 members, and all 30 members are elected from the Lok Sabha only (Rajya Sabha has no representation). Statement 1 is TRUE.
The committee was constituted to examine estimates included in the budget and suggest economies in public expenditure.
2
Analyze Statement 2 regarding the eligibility of Ministers to serve on the committee.
A Minister cannot be elected as a member of the committee. If a member, after election to the committee, becomes a Minister, they cease to be a member from the date of such appointment. Statement 2 is FALSE.
This rule ensures legislative independence in scrutinizing executive administration and finances.
