Like any other Parliamentary Committee, this Committee does not submit its report on the table of Parliament. The Committee of Parliament on official language submits its reports directly to the President of India. The reason behind this is that the law makers of our country were are aware of the fact that if the Committee of Parliament on official Language submits its reports on the table of Parliament, the Hindi Language will be a victim of politics. Therefore, Committee of Parliament on Official Language submits its reports directly before the president of India under Sec.4(3) of the Official Language Act, 1963.
