Which of the following is NOT a function of the President?
Presiding over Rajya Sabha sessions
The President of India grants pardons and remissions under Article 72, promulgates ordinances under Article 123 when Parliament is not in session, and summons, prorogues and dissolves Parliament under Article 85 — all genuine presidential functions.
Presiding over sessions of the Rajya Sabha is, however, the duty of the Vice-President of India, who is the ex-officio Chairman of the Rajya Sabha (Article 64), not the President.
Hence, presiding over Rajya Sabha sessions is NOT a function of the President.
