Which type of emergency has never been proclaimed in India so far?

  1. National Emergency (Article 352)
  2. State Emergency/President's Rule (Article 356)
  3. Financial Emergency (Article 360)
  4. All have been proclaimed

Answer: Financial Emergency (Article 360)

Financial Emergency under Article 360 has never been proclaimed in India. National Emergency has been proclaimed three times (1962, 1971, 1975), and President's Rule under Article 356 has been imposed over 120 times in various States. The non-use of Article 360 reflects India's relatively stable financial management.
