Question

A deadlock between the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha calls for a joint sitting of the Parliament during the passage of
1. Ordinary Legislation
2. Money Bill
3. Constitution Amendment Bill
Select the correct answer using the codes given below:

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is A because the provision for a joint sitting of Parliament under Article 108 applies only to Ordinary Bills and Financial Bills Type I and II. It does not apply to Money Bills or Constitution Amendment Bills for the following reasons:

1. Ordinary Legislation: If a deadlock occurs between the two houses, the President can summon a joint sitting to resolve the disagreement.

2. Money Bill: The Rajya Sabha has very limited powers regarding Money Bills. It can only make recommendations which the Lok Sabha is free to accept or reject. Since the Lok Sabha has the final say, no deadlock can occur, and thus no joint sitting is permitted.

3. Constitution Amendment Bill: Under Article 368, a Constitution Amendment Bill must be passed by each house separately by a special majority. There is no provision for a joint sitting to resolve a disagreement on such bills; if one house rejects the bill, it simply fails.
