The Deputy Chief Minister is a member of the state government and usually the second highest ranking executive officer of their state's council of ministers. While not a constitutional office, it seldom carries any specific powers.^[1] A deputy chief minister usually also holds a cabinet portfolio such as home minister or finance minister. In the parliamentary system of government, the Chief Minister is treated as the "first among equals" in the cabinet; the position of deputy chief minister is used to bring political stability and strength within a coalition government.

Currently, 11 out of the 28 states and none out of the 8 union territories have deputy chief ministers. Out of these 10 states and union territories, Andhra Pradesh has five deputy chief ministers and Uttar Pradesh ,Nagaland,Meghalaya have two deputy chief ministers.
