Under which of the conditions can the President make proclamation of national emergency ?
When the security of India is threatened by war or external aggression or armed rebellion
Under Article 352, the President may proclaim a national emergency if he is satisfied that the security of India or any part of it is threatened by war, external aggression or armed rebellion. The 44th Amendment, 1978 replaced 'internal disturbance' with 'armed rebellion'.
The proclamation is issued on the written advice of the Union Cabinet, not on a requisition by Lok Sabha members or by State Governments.
A war between two neighbouring countries does not by itself justify an emergency unless India's security is threatened. One-tenth of Lok Sabha members can only seek a special sitting to disapprove an emergency.
Hence, the answer is When the security of India is threatened by war or external aggression or armed rebellion.
