 In [[India]], '''President's rule''' is the suspension of state government and imposition of direct [[Union government]] rule in a [[States of India|state]]. Under Article 356 of the [[Constitution of India]], if a [[State governments of India|state government]] is unable to function according to Constitutional provisions, the Union government can take direct control of the state machinery. Subsequently, executive authority is exercised through the centrally appointed [[Governors of states of India|governor]], who has the authority to appoint other administrators to assist them. The administrators are usually nonpartisan retired civil servants.
-When a state government is functioning correctly, it is run by an elected Council of Ministers responsible to the state's legislative assembly ([[Vidhan Sabha]]). The council is led by the [[Chief Minister (India)|chief minister]], who is the ''de facto'' chief executive of the state; the Governor is only a ''de jure'' constitutional head. However, during President's rule, the Council of Ministers is dissolved, vacating the office of Chief Minister. Furthermore, the Vidhan Sabha is either [[:wikt:prorogued|prorogued]] or [[Dissolution of parliament|dissolved]], necessitating a new election.

 Prior to 2019, the [[Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir|constitution]] of the state of [[Jammu and Kashmir (state)|Jammu and Kashmir]] had a similar system of ''Governor's rule'', under its Section 92. The state's governor issued a proclamation, after obtaining the consent of the [[President of India]] allowing Governor's rule for a period of up to six months after which President's rule under Article 356 of the Constitution of India can be imposed. After the [[Indian revocation of Jammu and Kashmir's special status|revocation]] of [[Article 370 of the Constitution of India|Article 370]], President's rule applies to Jammu and Kashmir under section 73 (since Article 356 of Constitution of India does not apply to union territories) of [[Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019]].
