Question

What happens if the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha fail to agree on an ordinary Bill? 

Options

• The Bill is sent back to the Houses of Parliament for reconsideration.

• The matter is decided by the joint-sitting of the two Houses of Parliament. 

• The Bill is sent back to the Lok Sabha for reconsideration. 

• The Bill is sent back to the Rajya Sabha for reconsideration.

Answer 1

The matter is decided by the joint-sitting of the two Houses of Parliament.

Explanation:

If Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha cannot agree on an ordinary bill, the President of India may call for a joint session of both Houses of Parliament. During this joint session, Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha members discuss and vote on the bill simultaneously. The bill is then enacted or rejected by a majority vote of the members present at the joint session.
