The recommendations for Bharat Ratna are made by the Prime Minister to the President of India. These recommendations are not formal recommendations as it is not considerred necessary for Bharat Ratna.

Also the number of Bharat Ratna Awards is restricted to a maximum of three in a particular year. (Just a norm, no given reason for this)

The award seeks to recognize works of distinction and is given for distinguished and exceptional achievements/service in all fields of activities/disciplines.
