Who administers oath of office to the Vice President of India?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. The President of India .

The oath of office to the Vice President of India is administered by the President of India or a person appointed by the President (as per Article 69 of the Indian Constitution).

Key Points:

  • Unlike the President (who is sworn in by the Chief Justice), the Vice President takes the oath before the President.

  • If the President is unavailable, a person nominated by the President (such as the Chief Justice) can administer the oath.

  • The Vice President also serves as the ex-officio Chairman of the Rajya Sabha.
