The Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) is responsible for which of the following functions? 1. Approving the Long Term Integrated Perspective Plan (LTIPP) 2. Categorising defence acquisition proposals into ‘Buy’, ‘Buy & Make’, and ‘Make’ 3. Making appointments to top military posts 4. Deciding offset provisions for acquisitions above ₹300 crore Options:
A: 1, 2 and 3 only
B: 1, 2 and 4 only
C: 2 and 4 only
D: All of the above
Answer: B
Explanation:
The DAC gives in-principle approval to the 15-year Long Term Integrated Perspective Plan (LTIPP), which outlines the long-term capability requirements of the Indian Armed Forces. Thus statement 1 is correct.
One of DAC’s core roles is to categorize procurement proposals under appropriate acquisition categories such as:
· Buy (Indian/Global)
· Buy & Make
· Make/Make-I/Make-II
This helps streamline procurement and promote indigenous development where possible. Thus statement 2 is correct.
The DAC does not appoint military officials. Appointments to top military positions (e.g., Chiefs of Army, Navy, Air Force, CDS) are made by the Appointments Committee of the Cabinet (ACC), headed by the Prime Minister. Thus statement 3 is incorrect.
For defence procurement proposals above ₹300 crore, DAC is empowered to take decisions related to offset obligations — a mechanism to promote local defence industry and technology transfer through foreign deals. Thus statement 4 is correct.
