Because the prime minister and his minister take all the final decisions regarding all the important issues and they send the file to the president for signature

Hey mate.
.
president of India is called nominal head because of following powers he posses:

Financial powers:-. To say the President is the keeper of the national purse and the government cannot use even a single paisa without his consent. BUT the Constitution says that the President must follow the advice of the prime minister and his cabinet of ministers. The financial minister is said to present the annual budget on the behalf of the president but in reality it is prepared by the ministers and the President is just to sign it before it is presented.

Legislative powers:-. The Constitution says that every bill passed by the Parliament must be ratified by the President before becoming a law. The President has three choices - To give his consent … send back the bill to Parliament with or without his suggestions for a review ( however these suggestions are not binding to the Parliament.) And if the Parliament sends the bill back with or without any amendments , the President has to sign it …. And third refuse to give his consent. Usually the president goes for the first choice , rarely second and almost never for the third.

Executive powers :- As per the Constitution the President is the first citizen of the country, the de-jure head of the country. But the de-facto head (actual head) is the PM. The President represents India in various international meets , gives off the prestigious awards to the countrymen but he has no right to make any promise to help any other country. He can declare emergency only when he receives a written request from the PM to do so.

However the President has the right to decrease the punishment of any criminal from capital punishment( death sentence) to life long detention without any interference from the central government.
