Q57.
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:
Answer
A
Explanation
Under Article 108, a joint sitting can be called only for ordinary (non-money, non-constitutional amendment) Bills. Money Bills (Art 110) cannot be referred to a joint sitting — Rajya Sabha can only suggest amendments but cannot reject a Money Bill; it automatically passes after 14 days. Constitution Amendment Bills (Art 368) must be passed separately by each House with special majority — there is no provision for joint sitting for constitutional amendments.
