This is a list of members of the Union Cabinet of theGovernment of India, 2004 to May 2009.^[6]

All ministers are based in offices of their respective Union Ministries inNew Delhi. All Cabinet members are mandated by theconstitution to be members of either house of theParliament of India. In a departure from the norm the currentPrime Minister,Manmohan Singh, is a member of the Upper House, theRajya Sabha, and has remained so for the duration of his entire term (2004–2009).

There are three categories of ministers, in descending order of rank:

• Union Cabinet Minister - Senior minister in-charge of a ministry. A Cabinet minister may also hold additional charges of other Ministries, where no other Cabinet minister is appointed
• Minister of State (Independent Charge)- with no overseeing Union Cabinet Minister for that portfolio
• Minister of State (MoS) - junior minister with an overseeing Cabinet Minister, usually tasked with a specific responsibility in that ministry. For instance, an MoS in the Finance Ministry may only handle Taxation
