Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The power of the President to refuse to approve a bill or joint resolution and thus prevent its enactment into law is the veto.

Detailed explanation-2: -India: The president has three veto powers: absolute, suspension and pocket. The president can send the bill back to parliament for changes, which constitutes a limited veto that can be overridden by a simple majority.
