When there is a difference of opinion between the two Houses of the Indian Parliament on a Bill ________________.
The correct option is B The President may call a joint sitting of the two-houses
The President can call joint sessions of the two Houses if a
bill passed by one House is rejected by the other House or if the amendments
proposed to a bill by one House are not acceptable to the other House, does not
take any action on a bill remitted to it for six months. Decision is taken by a
majority of the total members present. The deadlock over a bill in a joint
sitting is resolved by present and voting. Since the Lok Sabha has a larger
membership in a joint sitting generally the will of the Lok Sabha prevails. After the passage of the bill in a
joint sitting it is presented to the President for his assent. But no joint
sitting can be summoned to resolve a deadlock in case of a Money bill or a
Constitutional Amendment bill.
