Statements (1) and (3) are correct relating to the powers of the President of India. Statement (2) is incorrect as the executive power shall be exercised by the President either directly or through officers subordinate to him [Article 53(1)]. India’s President is head of the Indian state, first citizen of India and supreme commander of the Indian armed forces. The President of India is the head of the executive of the Union Government. Therefore, all executive powers are vested in the hands of the President.
