In case the President is satisfied with the Governor’s report, he may declare President’s Rule under Article 356 but such proclamation is initially for a period of ________.

The correct answer is six months.

Under Article 356 of the Indian Constitution, if the President, on receipt of a report from the Governor of a State or otherwise, is satisfied that a situation has arisen in which the government of the State cannot be carried on in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution, the President may issue a proclamation imposing President's Rule in that State.

Such a proclamation must be laid before both Houses of Parliament and approved within two months from the date of its issue. Upon receiving Parliamentary approval, the proclamation of President's Rule remains in force initially for a period of six months.

The duration of President's Rule can be extended beyond six months for up to a maximum limit of three years, subject to fresh Parliamentary approval every six months.
