Question

What happens if there is a difference of opinion between Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha over an ordinary bill?

• A. The President decides the matter
• B. The will of Rajya Sabha prevails
• C. There is a joint sitting of the two Houses
• D. The bill is cancelled

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

The ordinary bills have to be passed from both the houses before they can be presented before the President. In case of a difference of opinion between Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha over an ordinary bill, a joint meeting of both the houses is called for a discussion and the Prime Minister plays a very important role in this session.
