The ruling BJP is unlikely to renominate at least 10 of its members to key financial committees, including the PAC.
While refusing to give details, Parliamentary Affairs Minister and senior BJP leader M Venkaiah Naidu said members are nominated to Parliamentary Committees based on the time they are able to give to such panels.
He said it is a routine exercise to nominate members to parliamentary panels.

Parliamentary sources said actor-turned politician Vinod Khanna and former cricketer Kirti Azad (Jha) are unlikely to be nominated by the BJP to the Estimates Committee headed by party veteran Murli Manohar Joshi.
Similarly, Dushyant Singh may not be renominated to the Public Accounts Committee headed by Congress leader K V Thomas, the sources said.
Nand Kumar Singh Chauhan and Varun Gandhi may not find a place in the Committee of Public Undertakings headed by BJP senior Shanta Kumar.
"Every member (from Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha), be it nominated or Independent, is a member of at least two Parliamentary committees," explained a government functionary to underline the fact that a member dropped from one committee will find a place in other panel.
While the Estimates Committee has 30 Lok Sabha members, the PAC has 22 members -- 15 from Lok Sabha and seven from Rajya Sabha. The Committee on Public Undertakings too has 22 members -- 15 from the lower house and seven from the upper house.
