Quick Scoop: Who can start impeachment?

In India, the Parliament alone has the power to begin impeachment of the President, and even within Parliament, this power is shared between both Houses.

• Impeachment charges can be initiated in:
  • Lok Sabha, or
  • Rajya Sabha
    as a formal charge by either House of Parliament.

• The process starts with:
  • A written notice containing the charges.
  • This notice must be signed by at least one-fourth of the total members of that House.

Once such a charge is properly moved and supported, the constitutional impeachment procedure under Article 61 is triggered, but no state legislature or any other body outside Parliament can initiate it.

In simple exam language:
The correct answer to “who can initiate impeachment proceedings against the President of India?” is: Either House of Parliament (Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha).
