Explanation:

- When an international treaty is signed by India, it is usually done by an authorized representative, often by the Prime Minister or the Minister concerned, on behalf of the Government of India.

- However, merely signing the treaty does not make it legally binding within India.

- According to the Indian Constitution (Article 253), for a treaty to become binding and have the force of law in India, Parliament must enact legislation to that effect.

- The President of India may sign or authorize treaties, but this act alone doesn’t make the treaty enforceable domestically.

- So, the treaty becomes binding on India only when Parliament makes special legislation for accepting the treaty.

Correct Answer:

Option 3: Parliament makes special legislation for accepting the treaty
