Which Article mentions the Comptroller and Auditor General of India?

Correct — B. Article 148 creates the office of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India — the appointment by the President, the oath, the conditions of service and the removal procedure.

Removal is deliberately hard: it follows the route laid down for a Supreme Court judge, an address by both Houses on proved misbehaviour or incapacity.

The neighbouring articles carry the rest of the office — 149 its duties and powers, 150 the form of Union and State accounts, 151 the audit reports. Option (b) is the one that creates the office itself.

Why the others are wrong

• (a)
  Article 154 — Article 154 vests the executive power of a State in the Governor. That is the state executive, not the audit machinery.
• (c)
  Article 156 — Article 156 fixes the Governor's term — five years, held during the pleasure of the President.
• (d)
  Article 136 — Article 136 is the Supreme Court's special leave to appeal, its discretionary power to hear an appeal from any court or tribunal.

The CAG audits the Union and the States, and the Constitution shields the office the way it shields a judge — precisely because it audits the government that appoints it.

Articles 148 to 151 form one block: creation, duties and powers, form of accounts, audit reports. The reports go to the President or the Governor, who lays them before Parliament or the State legislature, where the Public Accounts Committee takes them up.

Key facts

• Article 148 creates the office of the CAG and lays down its appointment and removal.
• Article 149 sets out the duties and powers of the CAG.
• Article 151 requires CAG audit reports to be laid before Parliament or the State legislature.
• The CAG can be removed only in the manner prescribed for a Supreme Court judge.

Common traps

• Confusing 148 with 149 — one creates the office, the other lists its duties.
• Mixing the 150s: 154 and 156 belong to the Governor, not to the auditor.
