Under Sections 14 & 15 of the Representation of the People Act 1951, the Election Commission fixes the schedule and recommends it, but the formal notification calling the election is issued by the President (Lok Sabha) or the Governors concerned (State Assemblies). Other options misplace these two functions. ([licchavilyceum.com](https://licchavilyceum.com/upsc-civil-services-prelims-1995-solved-question-paper/))
