Difference between the Cabinet and the Council of Ministers
|
Cabinet |
Council of Ministers |
|
It is a smaller group consisting of senior members that hold important portfolios. |
They consist of all categories of ministers – Cabinet ministers, Ministers of State and Deputy Ministers. |
|
They are the most trusted and consulted colleagues of the Prime Minister. He asks their advice on important matters. The decisions of the Cabinet are binding on all the ministers. |
He may or may not consult these ministers for making important decisions. |
|
They are a small organised group of senior ministers who meet as frequently as possible to shape national policies and transact government business. |
They meet rarely as a whole, in day-to-day working of the government. |
|
They advice the President through the Prime Minister, in day-to-day governance of the country. |
Though the Council of ministers advice the President, in reality it is the Cabinet which advices the President and the latter acts on their advice. |
